The “gist”?
The founders relied on the voters and our Representatives at the State level and in Congress, to determine eligibility.
Being eligible is one thing.
Being ELECTABLE is something else.
The voters DO have some responsibility here.
I believe the voters showed their desire when they voted for Obama not their responsibility. Happens all the time with people in myriad of life’s situations. I maintain that with Obama it was a case of desire to have a black, hip POTUSA. Many forgot or disregarded the intent and warnings of the Founders and the Constitution with It’s long tradition of building the best and most prosperous nation on Earth. The USA will take a long time to regain a necessary Constitutional balance between citizen responsibility and human desires.
