What Constitutional Right is there to be President?

There is no Constitutional right to be President. There never has been.

I think the general public has gotten fuzzy-minded on just what our "rights" are and are confusing "Constitutional" rights with "civil" rights. CONUS Amendments 1-10 say absolutely nothing about one's right to be POTUS. Some "legal thinkers" (who know what a natural born citizen really is and don't like it one bit as far as its being an Article II requirement) think that the NBC provision is "unfair" and "discriminatory" and therefore infringes on people's civil rights.

I quite agree; which is why I raised the question of its existence.

I believe that Obama alone could not only be seen as justification for the NBC requirement, but a possible additional requirement that said person should have been raised to at least understand our own nation before governing it.

This guy is more suited to governing Iran.

And that seems to be what he plans on turning this nation into, governing against the will of the people, his ayatollahs devotees to the unholy trinity of socialism, communism, and Marxism.
