In practice, the talent pool for POTUS is much, much thinner than you imply. Last November should be sufficient evidence to prove that assertion!
The Constitution says Natural Born. So be it. Only, they forgot to define it. So, we should go with the most obvious meaning, which is, citizen by birth. Cruz qualifies! And has way more IQ points than the average contender! End of story. Hilbots, go away!
Nov 2012 was a question of having just enough fraud in certain counties to pull a loser over the finish line.
I prayed before I went to bed that night and heard the words that “The other guy will win. He will steal the election.”
In my head, I thought that meant Romney. I cancelled the stealing part. It was wrong.
