According to the following link, "no person except a natural born citizen" is eligible as president of the united states of America

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#Constitutional_provisions

And according to this next link, Mitt Romney is not "natural born", since his mother had a caesarian section:

If I were anything like the tea-partiers and others who have suspected Barack Obama not to be eligible to the position as president I would debate whether Mitt Romney is

Oh, what fun we could have

Oops

Birds, reptiles, and amphibians would also be ineligible because they are hatched from eggs rather than born.

So Romney falls into the same category as birds, reptiles and amphibiants? Interesting

Are you saying Romney was hatched from an egg?

I don't know, I wasn't there. But I'm sure his mum was a fine looking bird, though

One thing I find amusing is that Romney came to Dearborn, Michigan where he was born and said "Nobody is questioning my birth cerificate."
Now the question of Caesarean section is raised
So Casarean section musty be the way new Caesars come into the world

Lots of women deliver by Caesarian section these days. The only one who probably was *not* delivered that way was Caesar himself. His mother would probably not have survived the operation, assuming that doctors of the time would have known how to perform it. Caesar's mother lived to a fine old age.

That's right, paulh, I learned that only a few days or weeks ago

I wonder what Dmitri thinks of all this. Think I'll go ask him

Now I wouldn't mind having a Caesar salad delivered right about now.

.. I of course never hesitate to believe witches.
Now the three witches implicitly stated that people like Mitt Romney are "not of woman born". The US constitution says that only natural born can be president.

Now there is one tiny flaw in this theory: do republicans believe in the constitution? it's a government thing, isn't it? Surely they'll not follow any document based on central government?? (or any document that central government is based on?)

Do tea partiers even drink ?

"do republicans believe in the constitution? it's a government thing, isn't it? Surely they'll not follow any document based on central government?? (or any document that central government is based on?)" [Hapi]

Whoever wins the election will have to swear on the Bible that he/she will uphold the Constitution and obey the laws of the U.S. Anyone who would lie under oath would deserve to be removed from office.

do republicans not reject centralised government? if so they should not accept the authority of a president

They can believe anything they want, Hati, but if they act on anarchic beliefs they could end up with prison time. Most people stop short of doing things that might land them in jail.

Americans sometimes confuse the rest of the world. They say all sorts of outrageous things, after which they they peacefully go about their daily lives.

what Americans believe or not ..

well written

Ah, I see. Somebody I've never heard of before said something ridiculous while campaigning in a state halfway across the country from where I live. Bless the media for publicizing Akin's serious lack of good judgment! It's to the credit of Missouri's voters that they turned away from him once they dicovered what a nutcase he is.

"female breastmilk - when fed directly to an adult homosexual male daily for at least four weeks - has a 94% chance of permanently curing homosexual perversions." (Todd Akin)

I have been discussing it somewhere else and still haven't found am amswer to my question: Where else can you get milk than from a female breast

I'm not going to discuss whether Akin is right in his claims or not
