Hilary and the Election Failure

[JackLuis]

Obama's problems are not the topic Box. I gave you a perfect opening to intelligently kevech about her failure (second at that!) and you get on about what she is 'supposed' to have done eight years ago.

You could have complained about her attitude of a self righteous ruler of foreign places. Her regime changing Imperialist Neo-liberalisim, her advocacy of Syrian intervention, which gave ISIS a place to start up, or her support for random assholes as "Freedom Fighters" and not jihadist assholes.

You could have pointed out the fact that everyone said she was the best qualified, when she had done very little herself to distinguish herself as a serious intellect.

You could have pointed out that she was a cheerleader, who danced at the head of the parade, but not a leader who advocated for the American people to be unleashed from the collar of Wall Street.

I gave you every chance and you dwelt on some flimsy stupidity generated by a machine Democrat sleaze bag.

Tisk, tisk, Boxlicker.

Obama's father was born in a British colony, and so was George Washington.

Most, probably all, the early presidents were born in British colonies that became part of the US. The requirement is that, to be eligible, a candidate must be born in the US or in a place that becomes part of the US. If somebody had ben born in Florida or the area that became the Louisiana Purchase or in Texas before 1836 or in CA before 1846, that person would have been eligible to become POTUS.

Alex Hamilton was not eligible to be POTUS because his place of birth was never part of the US.

Obama's father was born in a British colony, and so was George Washington.

And Trump's mother was born in Britain itself. Strangely, there has never been a widespread conspiracy theory based around this fact.

Sorry, that isn't what the Constitution says. They need to be either natural-born citizens, or citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted.

Or, born to US Citizens in pre 1846 California, for example. Or the Panama Canal Zone like Walnuts.
