The thought occurred to me the other day that it's not only his citizenship status that would be settled by a BC, but truth is, we don't even know if he's really 45-years-old as the Constitution requires. He probably is, but you never know.

The minimum requirement is 35-years-old.

Constitutional requirement is 35 years old. I think the youngest was TR, 42 when he took over from McKinley.

The BC only settles half of the Natural Born Citizen status requirement, the "born in the country" part. It also establishes who his father was. More evidence would be required to demonstrate that his father was or was not a US Citizen at the time. (He was not then, nor ever, a US Citizen)

I thought the age requirement was 35? Am I mistaken?

There was a face book entry on a long ago Obummer’s face book where he states he was born in 1957 (before Hawaii was a state) and there was a conversation about that very thing on Citizen Wells just yesterday. If, indeed, he was born in 1957, as he himself claimed, that means he is a ringer...and not Stanley Ann’s child. The plot thickens...on a plot that is already so thick it is pea soup. More questions than answers with this sham President voted in with a sham electoral vote.

I thought you had to be 35 years old to be President.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications one must meet to be eligible to the office of president. A president must:

* be a natural born citizen of the United States;[7]
* be at least thirty-five years old;
* have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

Cool, I thought so. Didn’t think they raised it to 45 just yet, although with the longer lifespans of today versus the 1700’s, it might should be.
