"DOES. NOT. MATTER.

There's that pesky little issue, the actual text of Article II of the Constitution, section 1, which states:

"No person except a natural born citizen...shall be eligible to the Office of President..."

Do you support the US Constitution, or not?

Of course. I have long argued on the side of the Constitution with regard to what constitutes a "natural born citizen". My position is very strict on that topic.

My saying it doesn't matter is PRACTICAL, not legal or ethical or constitutional. The point is, it will be ignored, just as it was in the past.

I note you are relatively new here (2020), well after the Obama terms. The question of what constitutes a "natural born citizen" was raised and argued for YEARS before and after 2008 without effect:

Obama was elected President twice despite there being serious questions about his eligibility.
Kamalala is just another case. It won't be an issue for her any more than it was for Obama. She's a Woman Of Color and being a WOC that negates any other concern about eligibility.

I don't need to do the research in the FR archives to show you the scores of posted threads and hundreds of comments about this, all of which amounted to: Does Not Matter. If you're curious, I invite you to do the reading.
