I don't think we should be questioning the loyalty of a 6 year-old boy because of choices his parents made.

Seriously? Do you think allegiance sinks in by osmosis? By what other means is loyalty imparted but by loyal parents and other members of a community? A 6 year old boy raised till then by American Hating parents is certainly not going to be loyal at that point, and maybe never after!

Either way, the Constitution deals with such concerns with a 14 year residency requirement, which Obama meets.

Certainly a boy could have been raised in Soviet Russia till he was 21, and could meet the Presidential Age requirement by the time he was 35.

It's a shame the founders didn't think of a way to prevent such a thing. :)

From a legal standpoint, this argument is meaningless.

Certainly a boy could have been raised in Soviet Russia till he was 21, and could meet the Presidential Age requirement by the time he was 35.

As long as he was born a U.S. citizen and didn't renounce that citizenship, sure. Why have a 14 year residency requirement if it was necessary for the President to reside here his whole life?
