Yep, What if bin Laden came over here, married an American goat, er I mean woman, after she gave birth he takes the kid back to his cave and raises him as a mooselimb, to hate America, teach him how to undermine our system and then send him back to the US.

What if two American-born Communists have a child in Chicago, take him to Cuba where he is raised until he is 21, then bring him back to the U.S. There is no doubt that he would be constitutionally eligible to be President 14 years later (2 citizen parents, born on U.S. soil, 35 years old + 14 years residency). Equally absurd, but the Constitution permits it.

There are many absurd things the Constitution doesn't forbid, because it relies on the good sense of the American people. If they have no good sense, we're stuck.

That's it in a nutshell isn't it?

Was it the first generation "American" citizen's (who were born British citizen) their intentions or to allow other British citizens to become future President of the United States of America???
