Where in the Constitution of the United States does it say this?!?

This is coming from one of those lawsuits against Obama buy some poker player who claims that you can't be a Natural Born Citizen unless you where born to born to natural born citizen parents on US soil, anything else is just a 'citizen'... it is a real stretch as nothing in US law states this, the guy who filed this suit had to go back to old British Common Law and really twist what is there, then assume it applies to us... I think this was an alternative legal attack by those who didn't think the birth certificate thing wouldn't go anywhere.

Well, I go by this:

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Anything else that is added outside of the Constitution is bullhockey!

My children could be president of these United States someday--that is, if there's anything left after HolyO is through ruining it!!!
