“Untrue. It does no such thing.”

Apparently, English is your second language.

However consider this: The Constitution specifies that Representatives must be “citizens” to be eligible for office, and it specifies that senators must be “citizens” to be eligible for office. Now, for the third and final elective Federal office, the president, it specifies that presidents must be “natural born citizens”.

Now, why on earth did they put that in there if it meant absolutely nothing? Every word in the Constitution was haggled over, argued over, including the punctuation.

Apparently I can read a statute without inventing things that aren't there, unlike birthers.

"Now, why on earth did they put that in there if it meant absolutely nothing?"

Nobody claims it means nothing.
