Fortunately, eligibility to run for President is not a pre-qualifier for citizenship. C'mon, you have to do better than that. How sad!!

BTW, thanks for taking the bait. I think you're down for the count in this regard.

Actually, the following from the 14th amendment is probably more relevant:

"Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

As you can see the citizens have certain privileges and immunities (these are for the most part set out in the bill of rights). However persons are entitled to due process of law, whether or not they are citizens.
