Maybe Bernie Is Contending That Hillary Was Delivered By C-Section?

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.

ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 5

And all this time we thought the birthers were arguing that natural born Citizen meant someone born in the U.S., which now that Ted Cruz is their current fave, turns out not to be the case.

Eligible versus Qualified. Grab a book, dictionary maybe. nt. CentralCoaster Apr 2016 #1
Ah, so what are the qualifications to be President? TomCADem Apr 2016 #2

For me, looking after the middle and working class isn't optional if you're going to be the Democratic nominee.

General honesty, respect for the environment, respecting both the spirit and the letter of the law in the way you conduct yourself and your affairs.

All of these things are required qualifications.

For other folks I'm sure the requirements to be qualified are different.

This does not mean that sushi is not edible or that I can't digest it. Rather, it is a subjective choice unique to my POV.

In the past, I might have said that I hate sushi or will never eat sushi. However, in today's parlance, sushi simply is not qualified to serve as my food choice.

I mean I'll eat it, but don't hold it in very high esteem as a food.

As a craft, I admire the construction technique and colorful composition.
