It isn't a matter of changing the law. The United States Constitution states the following:

Question: What are the requirements to become President?

Answer: The United States Constitution outlines the requirements for President in Article 2. This article of the U.S. Constitution also outlines the many powers of the President and Executive branch of government.

Section 1 of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution states that a President must:

* be a natural born citizen of the united States
* be at least 35 years old
* have lived in the U.S. for at least 14 years

In addition, the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that a President may not serve more than 2 terms of 4 years each, even if they have only served as President for 2 or more years of one of those terms.

Every President in our Nation's history has qualified based on these requirements. Barack Obama aka Barry Soetoro needs to provide evidence that he is eligible to be run for the office of President.

What is weird about Obama and Axelrod is that this situation shows how little respect they have for our history. It's as if they are saying to the Founders of our nation,"Yo, Washington and Jefferson...‘Whatever’." Obama is probably qualified, but the fact that he would allow this to be an issue this late in the election is beyond anything any other Presidential Candidate has allowed. Obama is a thug and a deceiver. Unfortunat and quite frankly very weird..

Can I translate that for you???

The muzzies agenda is somehow to take down the U.S.!

They have promised to use any means; attacks U.S. property overseas, 9/11 here, economic failures (oil revenue,) etc.!!

Nobama Husein ("Mohammed"?) Barack is directly entwined in their web and a calculated part of it disguised to be a Christian, "sweeping" half of our population off their feet in awe for him. Pure and simple. His cousin Odinga is also a part in it as well!!!

Your paraphrase of the requirements is not entirely accurate. “...a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,...” Any citizen here after 1773 was in ineligible. Any citizen here in 1773 or before was eligible even if not native born. I call this “the Hamilton clause” since it made him eligible.
