“By your logic, osama bin loden’s son who was born and raised in Pakistan to a mother of dual US/Pakistani citizenship is eligible to be POTUS.”

While we’re on the subject of logic, you are using the logical fallacy of “appeal to consequences”.

Are you saying that the same son would be eligible if he was born here and Osama had naturalized?

Is the “natural born citizen” clause a guarantee that Congress cannot enact stupid laws or that voters cannot elect a bad president?

If Obama is truly a natural born citizen, would that make his acts as president less repugnant?

Yes, if both his mother and father are American citizens and he is born in America, he would be eligible. As for stupid laws, what does it matter if your going to have stupid interpretations of laws anyway? Why even bother to have laws if you are just going to ignore them when it is inconvenient to your whims? Are we a nation of laws, or a nation of men? The answer is that with the election of obumber and voters who care more about their candidate then the laws, we have became a nation of men. Thanks for that by the way.
