What's all the hubbub.
Nothing Yoshida says disqualifies Obama:
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.
"OR" a Citizen.

Eeeeew, I just got back from a "Silver Ring Thing" presentation/light show! I feel like I need a shower.
Could someone please tell Joshua Micah Marshall to either a) Grow a beard, or b) shave? He looks like he shaves with, I don't know, kindergarten scissors and it's starting to annoy me.
We needs a blogger aesthetics panel.
I'm gonna repost this because I think we need to crush the narrative, stat:
Well, criminey.
I was just watching Hannity and Colmes, and Sean Hannity, who believes that Rev. Jeremiah Wright's statements will swiftboad Obama (and keep in mind that Sean has his fingers crossed, his Magic Ball out, and his ruby slippers poised to click), just told Bob Beckel that if Obama is truly sincere, he needs to release records of every time he was in Rev. Wright's church over the last 15 years so that the media can compare his church attendance with Rev. Wright's sermons.
At what point does this slope become so slippery that we refuse to play?
What about McCain's church attendance?

From below:
But yeah, there's nothing in the Constitution that says the president can't simultaneously be a citizen of another nation.

I like the idea of having a president who has traveled, lived elsewhere and knows something of the outside world.
Unlike the ignorant putz with whom we have been saddled for the last seven years.

You and me both, sister.
there's nothing in the Constitution that says the president can't simultaneously be a citizen of another nation.
but now that I think about it, there are some security clearances that are probably not available to people with dual loyalties (I say "probably" because it's been a long time since I had a clearance).
Probably not a good idea for the President to pull rank in that way.
Was anyone watching that 1935 movie about the trans-Atlantic tunnel on TCM a little earlier tonight? It was truly bad, I was waiting to see some drownage, or at least seepage, but I couldn't take it any longer.

I don't mind Greta that much. Other than she drones, and she's boring.

Nope. I was watching "The Eyes of Laura Mars." I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I'll just say that the twist ending was probably a lot more surprising in 1978 than it is now.
Some days things happen. Other days they don't. I have seven articles to write about for tomorrow.

Probably, but since I'm still deciding on a hotel, travel planning is days away.
It reads like the OR only covers people living in the US as of 1789.

For all the stupid fuckwits out there, let me explain it for you:
A "natural born citizen" is a person who was either born in this country, or born to one or more American parents. Simple fucking is it. Sheesh.

My reading is that you can be born here OR a US citizen. But we also know that Gov Schwarzenazi can't run. What am I missing?
if you are born here, you are a US citizen, period. The requirement is that the president be born here.
at the time of the adoption of the constitution, there were no such people. thus the second clause, "a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution". Everybody to whom that clause applies has now been dead for 180 years or so.
Elias and Simels: I'll make waffles for you in the morning.

Maybe it's good when it hasn't been made of low-grade ingredients and allowed to molder in a can. But I'm skeptical.
March 26 (Bloomberg) -- Bain Capital LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners LP sued a group of banks led by Citigroup Inc. to force them to honor an agreement to finance the buyout firms' $19.5 billion acquisition of Clear Channel Communications Inc.

A "natural born citizen" is a person who was either born in this country, or born to one or more American parents. Simple fucking is it. Sheesh.
Of course. What's confusing is "Or a citizen of the United States, At the time of the adoption of this Constitution..."
Does this mean that ONLY at the time of the Constitution, if you were born elsewhere, but then became a citizen, that you could be President?
I admit, I'm a Constitutional moron. But being a moron is not part of my constitution.
I thought it was to hide the horns.
Well yes. But the horns only keep the hat in place.
The giant robes are to hide the wings. And the bra straps.
