Well... it wouldnt be possible to have a president born in 'the united states' since no one was old enough to assume presidency who was born in the US when it was the US but when it was the colonies there were plenty of people who could assume presidency.

All those rules were established in the Constitution. They used the Articles of Confederation back then. That law did not exist.

No but he was born in a colony that became part of the United States


Given this logic, all natives are not "aboriginals" but instead the civilian of that country. Makes a lot of sense.

Are you stupid or something? George Washington was born in the United States only before it was the United States, the colony of Virginia became part of the United States hence Washington could become president.


It doesn't matter where Washington was born.

Washington was eligible to become President because he was a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.

Someone born in Cambodia, but who was a citizen of the US at the time of the Constitution's ratification, would have been eligible for President.

nobodys going to agree with me but oh well. i would use a group of people (like a jury service) randomly selected and if the system does cough-up the odd looney who wants to invade france, majority decisions will be taken. These people would make all laws and important decisions rather than just alot of useless people arguing all day.

I couldn't be president of the United States. The stress would be too great. I would always feel sick, my nails would be gone, and I would be completely bald because no matter what, I would be the one to blame. Regardless of whether or not I knew what was going on.

If I was president I would end up looking like either the greatest most lax president of all time or like the biggest tyrant of all time.
