[Vision2020] natural born Kenyan: Supremes asked to halt Tuesday's vote

[No Weatherman]

Article II Section 1 of the US Constitution states:

"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."

Most of the presidents you named were born subjects of the King of
England and became naturalized citizens of the US when the fathers
adopted the Constitution.

Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky which was a state of the Union
inside the USA.
