This should be challenged and struck down. It obviously is wrong.

A naturalized citizen is not eligible for the presidency. A naturalized person can never be a natural born person. The entire naturalization process is all about conferring citizenship on one who was not born a citizen.

exactly right

This is actually a correct decision. The FEC has no business ruling on the eligibility of a person for office. They are bound by certain laws and regulations and I do not believe we should entrust a regulatory agency with making a determination as to the eligibility of a candidate to run for office.

Clearly this guy can "run" for the Presidency. But he is not eligible to hold the office if elected. But that is for the Congress, the Electoral College and the courts to determine. There is always the possibility that if he were elected, the Constitution could be amended to allow for Naturalized Citizens (like Obama) to be president between the time he is elected and the time he is sworn in. I'd say the odds are about the same for him getting elected as they are for the Constitution being changed in the 2 months between November and January.

Given that it's written by World Nut Daily, what's obviously wrong is the article. Never assume WND is telling you the truth.

I agree, but who has standing to challenge this in a legal setting. A challenge to the current FEC will surely result in an affirmation of the ruling.
