Not yet. I still hold out hope Obama will be found to be Constitutionally ineligible to hold office.
[If you wonder what I'm blathering on about, ask yourself why KENYA is partying so hard tonight.]
A KENYAN born citizen CANNOT become POTUS (President of the United States) But don't tell them that until the party is over....
Only a "natural born US citizen" can.
Nor can and an INDONESIAN citizen become POTUS. Or even a "naturalized US citizen from Indonesia."
No. Only a "natural born US citizen" can. This is the same reason the current governor of California can never become POTUS--because he NOT a NATURAL BORN US citizen.
(And, yes...just in case you wondered: I AM talking about Barack Obama--it's alledged he might be either Kenyan born or Indonesian educated, either of which should make him ineligible to be POTUS under the terms of the US Constitution.
[Supreme Court decision probably upcoming].
Why does it matter? It's because this one, elected official is the ONLY one who will be in command of the US military (and all it's might). It's because he, ALONE, will be Commander-in-Cheif (and so he must be loyal ONLY to the United States (he can have no split/dual loyalties).
See "Article 2" of the US constitution (look for better sources, btw, than "Wikipedia")
