I’ve also seen some bizarre formula that said Rick Santorum was ineligible because his father or grandfather was born in Italy. and the best one yet was a claim that Michele Bachmann has dual citizenship because she was given honorary citizenship in Switzerland.

It became a tragic comedy and wasn’t worth talking about anymore especially in light of the fact that virtually every democrat and a good many “republicans” would be just as disastrous as Obama.

It is theater of the absurd.

By those idiotic "standards," George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison - the "Father of the Constitution" were all ineligible Presidents.

The Father of Our Country, the Father of the Declaration of Independence, and the Father of the Constitution. All "ineligible."

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were citizens at the time of adoption of the Constitution, quite obviously.

You do understand that the founders who became president were constitutionally grandfathered in, right? No one alive today though is quite old enough to be under that clause.

Ah, here’s another one of those verbal dog poops which Little Jeremiah mentioned earlier.

Reading your material makes people dumber than those who avoid it.

Imagine actually READING the applicable section of the Constitution which states that one must be a Natural Born Citizen OR A CITIZEN AT THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION. Then imagine actually COMPREHENDING that which you have just read. But not you, apparently.
