Y'all keep bringing this up, but tell me what this means:
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
At the time this document was established, there were no natural born U.S. presidents. That is why that line was written.
The way I read it, one must be a
resident of the U.S. for fourteen years...am I reading it correctly?
