"Time to get some good strong rope, find small tall tress, and teach these faceless bureaucrats that the CONSTITUTION means what it says! NO FOREIGN BORN person may run - period - end - STOP. "Not sure what your game here is. The Constitution says no such thing.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of U.S. Constitution as adopted 17 Sep 1787:
"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."

Yup.
There's nothing in the Constitution saying whether someone can actually run for the office of President or not. Or even whether they can/can't be elected to it. Just whether someone is qualified to actually hold it.
So, IOW, a non-Natural Born Citizen (or even a foreigner) CAN run for office, can even be elected to it. But that person can never actually ASSUME the office.

I think you know where I'm going. And I know where I was going.
What's important is that 'some people' don't know where I was going -- as I can't afford the bail or a new front door.
(and there's two ways of saying the same thing, i.e: Natural Born Citizen with TWO Parents who are US Citizens = NO Foreign Born, naturalized citizen)
