A trick question? Those founding fathers...wild and crazy guys.

RE: the Albright issue and the requirement to be natural born to be President.

Think about it... Che Guevara's granddaughter and Fidel Castro's grandson get married with full plans to raise their child as a Marxist-Leninist devotee, right? They go on a whirlwind tour while she's pregnant, hitting Hanoi, Pyonyang, Havana, Vientianne, all the proletarian perfect spots, right? They stop by the USA and go to Berkeley to attend an anti-Imperialist rally. The wife goes into labor, rushed to the hospital and delivers a healthy soon to be card carrying communist child who...is instantly and Constitutionally an American citizen and who is eligible to be President of the United States.

Meanwhile, the 20 something couple from Richmond, VA, who both are direct descendants of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and whose great grandparents were founding members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution and who can reel off their family tree back to the original Jamestown colony, take a trip to England to further trace their family roots. She, also pregnant, goes into labor early and delivers a healthy, red blooded American baby who cannot become President of the United States.

Those founding fathers, huh?
