Stunning tragedy for the framers....and for us. Obama aside. It leaves our country vulerable to the very kind of leadership our forefathers attempted to protect us from. Foreign interests.

Obama was relatively young when he took office. His fathers (natural and step) from foreign countries could have attempted to take over our government through their son. Their son’s allegiance would have been to them, not to America. It has nothing to do with where a person is born.

That's correct. Precisely what the framers were concerned with. And guess what, that specific scenario is now possible.

If simply being born in the U.S. is enough to be considered a "natural born Citizen", then the current Dauphin of France (as considered by the Legitimists) Prince Louis Duke of Burgundy would be considered POTUS eligible.

Prince Louis was born in New York City, 2010. Yet, his father is a French and Spanish citizen (but not a U.S. citizen) and his mother is Venezuelan.

If the French decided to have another restoration of the House of Burbon, the King of France would be considered POTUS eligible.
Or, if Louis Alphonse were to be elected POTUS 1st...and then the French decided to restore the crown...wow!

Imagine that. The King of France and the President of the U.S. as one in the same.

The judge has just essentially rule that he consideres the current Dauphine of France to be POTUS!

I believe the founders and framers would be repulsed by such a notion.
