(Under advice from my lawyer I will now be known as Mostly Harmless Teddy Bear)
To: Col Sanders
"Should a person, born to natural-born citizens who just happened to be in a different country on the day they were born, and who has been a citizen themselves since being naturalized at a young age, and then raised in this country, be deprived of the opportunity to be president due to an arcane requirement set over two hundred years ago when travel occurred either by foot or by horseback?"
My brother is of similar fate like that. He should be allowed to run, simply because he was born to American Parents serving the country. In no other circumstances should that be permited.
