That only seems shocking to you because all these silly hypothetical examples seem to presume the individual in question is automatically electable.

Uh, huh..the Founding Fathers fought wars, sacrificed everything, pledged their lives and sacred honor just so a foreigner could some day become POTUS.

Do you have any Idea how ridiculous that sounds? And even more so that you defend it?

Yes, he would be allowed to run for President.

No he would not, he would not be a NBC

First off, someone born here is not a foreigner (the example in question). That's currently settled law, and I think you expose more about your own underlying attitudes with an answer like that than you realize.

I fought a war for this country. I managed to avoid become grotesquely paranoid about anyone I could somehow characterize as “other” in some sense, especially my fellow citizens in a land of immigrants. I think the Founding Fathers were men enough to do the same.
