Just jot out a list of Obama deeds & accomplishments that, in your minds, underscore the wisdom of the Framers in opening the highest office of the land to persons w innate foreign allegiances.

Uh, no. That's stupid. You might as well ask me to jot out a list of Clinton deeds that underscore the wisdom of the Framers in restricting the highest office of the land to persons without innate foreign allegiances. It's arguing from effect: "I don't like this president, and I don't think the Framers would like this president, so they must have done something to prevent us from ever having such a president." They did: they trusted us not to elect one.

Clinton didn’t purposefully try to destroy the country. That is the big difference. Not surprised you can’t see it.

From Dr. James McHenry's notes of the final day of the Constitutional Convention:

“A lady asked Dr. Franklin Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy. A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.”

God, I love those Founders.
