10/30/08 Grif.Net - Presidential Qualifications

[Dr Bob Griffin]

A high school class was discussing the qualifications to be president of the
United States. It was pretty simple. The candidate must be a natural born
citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class
immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural
born citizen. In short, her opinion was this requirement prevented many
capable individuals from becoming president.

The teacher and the class were just taking it in and letting her rant, but
everyone's jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by stating ...
"What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country
than one born by c-section?"
