Re: [s-d] Imagine if B's strict interpretation of the Rules were applied to the US Constitution...



No Person except:

1) a natural born Citizen, or

2) a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,

shall be eligible to the Office of President.

According to my reading of the wording, this means that no-one who was not a Citizen of the USA, natural born or otherwise, /on September 17, 1787/ is eligible for the Presidency.'
