No, the Electoral College has plenty of logic behind it. The 'Natural-Born' requirement does not. This is not what I 'think', it simply is true. If it was ever challenged there's simply no way it would hold up in the Supreme Court. It's discriminatory with no basis whatsoever.


That you have to be a natural-born citizen in order to be president is illogical? If the Supreme Court were to rule it, and they fulfilled their duty to uphold the Constitution, then it would not be overturned. If you applied your logic of discrimination universally, then you would have to say preventing anyone on earth from running for president is discriminatory.

I've never heard it being talked about so serious. I'm guessing our definitions of 'issue' are slightly conflicting.

But this argument is rather ridiculous. This "issue" is simply the hype du jour.
