Please. You're insulting Australopithecus by that comparison. Apparently this moron obviously started reading his Constitution from the end and got hung up on the big words so that he never made it to the main text, because the actual qualifications for President are as follows:

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.

Women are generally held to be 'persons' for those of us not living in 1832.

That was my next question. What exactly does it say about who can be President? Nice to know this is a non issue.

Okay, is anyone else seeing "must have been a citizen in 1789 to qualify" in there! LOL!
