Douglas, writing for the majority says...

"... Only a native-born may become President, Art. II, § 1."

I asked my cleaning lady and she looked at her pocket Constitution and said that Douglas was clearly wrong there. His citation is incorrect as Article II & 1 of the Constitution, which is being cited here, clearly has the word "natural born" in it -- not "native born".

Now giving him credit here, she says that he may have actually meant that "native born" citizens who are also "natural born" citizens can be President, but no "naturalized" citizen can under any circumstances be President. It is possible that that is what he meant, isn't it???

Birthers, legends and scholars, in their own minds.
