Well then you were lied to, because you can be president. You are a natural born citizen, period. If you are not natural born then you are not a citizen at all unless you passed the naturalization for citizenship. So, BS.
I am beginning to have a grudging admiration for you. You hang in there and defend what you believe is right. Gotta love you for that. Take care.

McCain cannot say the same. The left has all the documentation, and hundreds of years of jurisprudence, to question and argue his constitutional suitability to be the Commander in Chief.
Me? I think he's qualified.
But what you and I think doesn't matter. ONLY what the Supremes say matters on this one.
I wouldn't take a bet on what that will be at any odds!
Then we agree about each other.
Should you ever be in Silicon Valley, drop me a line, I think we’d enjoy yapping over a couple liquid refreshments.
*sigh* Should be:
“Me? I think he’s both qualified and not qualified.”
I meant to say that although he has the skills and patriotism necessary to successfully execute the duties of the Office, he doesn’t meet all the qualifications listed in the employment ad.
(Which BTW hasn’t stopped me from getting jobs!)
You got that right. I think it would be fun talking to you in person. Take care. Cale59
i was just thinking the other day,
the only control we have over the government
is to not re-elect any politician.
Monday edition of Captain Obvious.
I've read all of the reasons why this is ill advised.
Yeah, and I still do not vote to keep the “professionals” in office.
I think we actually have someone running against our Congress-critter this year (a Demo-rat, I AM in the Bay Area, after all) this year, after two straight unopposed runs.
So, in '04 and '06, I did vote against the incumbent. Of course, I had to write-in someone. A fat lot of good it did, huh?
You are providing reasons for the intent of the Constitution. (Which is a good thing).
I agree. There are many in Congress and a few on the Supreme Court whom I would like to see stay and gain in influence. This "Throw them all out" mantra is usually by people who don't like their own representatives, the only ones they can have influence over, and they have not been able to affect them or get rid of them. So they want to throw everybody out, the good with the bad.
Thanks for the ping.
