What is wrong wth you right wingers? Can't you read or think? I posted it below. Here is the exact text out of the constitution: ""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; >>Koan, > All it takes to be president is to be a US citizen. One does not have to be a natural born citizen. LOL, is that your final answer? Tenchusatsu>> mccookgazette.com There has been a movement in America questioning Barack Obama's status as an American. This upswell has caused literally thousands of Americans to claim that Obama is not a legal citizen. They claim he wasn't born in the United States. John McCain wasn't born in the United States, he was born in a protectorate, but that's okay. I think the birthers don't fully understand the law concerning whether someone can serve as president. If they are solely looking at the Constitution their argument still doesn't hold water. Let's look at what the Constitution states in Article 2, Section 1: 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. There's a pretty big word in their that takes the steam out of their argument, I've put in all caps to bring it to attention. That little word, OR, is pretty big in this phrase. The first part of the statement clearly says "No person except a natural born citizen, OR a citizen of the United States. Just to clear it up a little more later in the section it clarifies what the citizen part means when it states "... and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States." So right there, Barack Obama is eligible to be President.
