Qualifications for the presidency are: Age 35 Born in the US

Here is what the Constitution says!

"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." I don't see a single word in that about WHERE someone might be born!

Perhaps it is a Penumbra or something!

If your are born of parents (plural) who are themselves citizens you are a Natural born citizen (eligible to hold the office of president) and could have been born on a sailing ship in the middle of the Pacific ocean!
