My question... If the constitution lays out the citizenship requirements, then why is there no path of verification? Is it an “honor system”. IF it is, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard... since when has politician and honor been allowed in the same sentence?

Battman, you just asked a question that has been plaguing me also AND the best observation on this whole GD mess I have heard. Foxes are on security duty at the henhouse, like it or lump it!
Could it possibly be that back when our fair Fathers were writing the Constitution, they had honor and saw no conflict with expecting anyone aspiring to the Office of President to possess that same honor?

In the American context, that would be during the late 1700's to early 1800's, I believe. Things have just gone down hill from there.
