RE :”So if he was 32 years old, and had only lived in the US for 8 years, as well as having been born in Australia of Australian citizens, that would be OK with you, just as long as he was elected by a large margin.

Well chances are that if all that were true he wouldn't have been elected at all. So your ‘What if” is not valid.

But if he's the first AA president and gets elected by a wide margin because the other party is seen as losers, and you cant prove anything, and you claim he cant be president because you haven't seen his long form BC, and you claim that the constitution calls for his long form BC(which I kniow it doesnt) , I'd say I can see why you are treated as poison

What exactly do you mean? I've never heard anything about a drinking problem.

And if folks had known he was born in Kenya, or anywhere else outside the US, he likely would not have been elected at all either.

But you seem to have a problem with the concept of "eligible". He either is, or he is not. His Daddy could have been a visiting Ukrainian, and he born in Odessa, the situation would be the same. It has Zero to do with the color of his skin.

And about him being "African-American": Technically he is, but so is Terressa Hines Kerry. So what? He's not the usual descendant of slaves, or of Caribbean immigrants from a couple of generations ago. He did not grow up in the "Black Community". He had no "African-American" ancestors. His skin may be chocolate, but his upbringing was by white Kansans, and an Indonesian stepfather (for a few years). He looks more like his maternal grandfather than anyone else.

He is NOT, by his own admission, a Natural Born Citizen, because he does not have two citizens parents, even if he'd been born in Independence Hall in Philadelphia.

When asked by a real "African American" why I called Obama "Black", I said, because that is what he calls himself. He could be green for all I care about that. He's certainly not as "Black" as the guy who asked that question, who in turn is merely dark chocolate colored, in comparison to a college friend from Nigeria, who was obsidiean, and very good guy too.

Assuming that they were known before hand.

Folks got taken to the woodshed for mentioning that his middle name is Hussien before the election. It's no wonder that no one in the MSM brought out the fact that just having a non citizen father is enough to make one not "natural born".

But the point was, an election cannot overturn the Constitution. It cannot make an ineligible person magically eligible. That's a yes or no question, not subject to majority opinion.
