These "second-class" Americans are full American citizens in all aspects of the law with the one exception that they cannot serve as President.

BINGO!

The Founders demanded 100% allegiance, at birth, of U S citizens for eligibility to be the President.

YOU, can call those unqualified per the Constitution, 'second class citizens,' until you are blue in the face, yet unqualified they remain.

I'll say it in plain English: yes, the Founders discriminated against those citizens that had allegiances to foreign nations. Today, millions upon millions of U S citizens cannot be President, because of this specific clause.

An amendment to the Constitution can change this clause.

I am growing increasingly disgusted with the frantic nonsense of Freepers who are willing to adopt the left's vile 'living Constitution' approach in order to justify ridiculous claims against Obama's legitimacy as president.

'Natural born citizen' means what it says, and it says nothing about allegiance. You people keep your dishonest emanations and penumbras to yourself.
