Incorrect. The Constitution merely states... “No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of...
Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.” One can be a natural born citizen despite being born abroad...
...such as in the case of one born to citizen parents while traveling, living, or stationed abroad. Look up Consular Report of Birth Abroad.

The common accepted definition of 'natural born citizen' is 'citizen at the time of birth'. Being born in the UK does not preclude this.

I've met Americans and they actually believe that the Queen runs the country, they don't realise we have a government and prime minister.
Don’t mistake ignorance for stupidity. I’m sure I could quiz random Brits about our government with similar results.
I went to America once and it was a right load of rubbish, none of the soda contained real sugar and there were too many commercials on TV.
freckledkink
I'm American, and I've never met another American who believed the Queen ran the country. We understand how your government works. Making
Generalizations for a lot based on a few you've met is the stupid thing to do.
Can you actually prove you're an American though? You're statement is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read, I have no time for you.
Can you prove you're an actual human? You sound like a troll.
I'm certainly not a troll, and I am deeply upset and offended by your remark.

The monarchy is a fallback for when parliament self-destructs, but also a security measure to prevent would-be dictators (like blair)
My Great Aunt Tilda acted as a wet nurse for Prince Charles, something we are very proud of.
wraith3
Yeah we ain't got any of that fancy book learnin in the United States! That's about as likely as you thinking we have shootouts at 1/2
high noon every day. 2/2
Well, you sort of do really. I suggest you put real sugar back in the soda, that'll calm them down.
Eh this is really like going anywhere in Europe and making a complaint like "I met Europeans, they dont understand Utah's government
structure at all"
No it really isn't. This would be like meeting Europeans who don't know that Congress exists.
I met an American once who believed that the Soccer World Cup (as it was taking place in USA) was the Oxford/Cambridge boat race.
Well you see, states are called states because they have their own seperate governments. Hence "state" as the definition of the word. The
US Federal government is much closer to your European Union than you might realize.
I know. I was making a comparison analogous to an American not understanding that the UK has a parliament, not just a monarch.
You see, people tend to treat the US as a whole singular group and then compare it to their tiny nation. Understand however that not only
is my singular state a very similar size in Population and actual landmass, but our culture and education is very different from many other
states. Its a bad way to look at a people by a group so large. You'll be very dissappointed with the results.

sons. He established (first for his kingdom but the rules were adopted for everyone) a set of rules known as "tá tú dochreidte"

Well you see, states are called states because they have their own seperate governments. Hence "state" as the definition of the word. The
Ulthirm
US Federal government is much closer to your European Union than you might realize.

I know. I was making a comparison analogous to an American not understanding that the UK has a parliament, not just a monarch.
Ulthirm
You see, people tend to treat the US as a whole singular group and then compare it to their tiny nation. Understand however that not only
Ulthirm
is my singular state a very similar size in Population and actual landmass, but our culture and education is very different from many other
Ulthirm
states. Its a bad way to look at a people by a group so large. You'll be very dissappointed with the results.

So you're saying Little People know more about Monarchies than the rest of us?

I love you, and your birds. Read "the end of the end of the Earth" by Jonathan Franzen. It's almost entirely about birds

All I know of monarchies is that they have bred some of the worst people in the history of mankind, particularly the decendents of Victoria.

Almost, but no

really works. A couple days ago someone asked me how come the Queen of England is married but there is not King of England and I told an old
cangarejos
story of how in 1147 John I of Sussex realised he had to come up with some rules in order to protect his kingdom from splitting between his

sons. He established (first for his kingdom but the rules were adopted for everyone) a set of rules known as "tá tú dochreidte"
