I ENCOURAGE EACH OF MY FRIENDS TO PLEASE READ THIS. Many thanks to Darioush Radmanesh for another brilliant article!! This is the most intellectual explanation of Article II Section I, of the US Constitution, I've ever read. From this point alone, it's exponentially important to do more than just ensure a candidate is a "natural born citizen" (NOT about a birth certificate). This point should be considered in the future, and may very well provide the only logical answer as to why the current President is doing so much to change America.)

'' THE NATURAL CITIZENSHIP CLAUSE IN THE U.S CONSTITUTION ''
What many of my fellow Americans do not understand with regards to the Natural Citizenship clause in the U.S Constitution is that, our founding fathers were addressing a matter which was by far much more important then only the physical aspects of a citizens place of birth. Rather they in fact were also addressing the moral and emotional implications or aspects as well. Basically the question we Americans should be asking, is not just rather or not a Candidates parents at the time of his or her birth were in fact natural citizens, or even if the Candidate was in fact born on U.S soil or not. Of course this is very important, only we must also ask: In which country was the Candidate raised .....and why this is very important??... because the location or environment of a child's upbringing, especially at a very young age.. will ultimately be responsible in forming the mind set, and the child's view on life and society when he or she reaches adulthood. In other words.. who or what a child will be as an adult, will depend immensely on, which culture or country he or she was raised and educated. We can conclude that even though a child may very well be born on U.S soil, depending on how young he or she was when they were taken and raised in a foreign country, and exposed to a foreign culture.. when that child has grown to adulthood.. he or she may very well have very little or no recollection of their country of birth. So consequently, they would feel very little attachment or sense of kinship with that country or its citizens. Not only is the location of birth very important, but also even more vital and crucial.. is the country and culture in which the child was raised and exposed, and how it will reflect on what they were most influenced by in their developmental years.
