A theory

[unixronin]

Given that the NASA job appears to have gone *poof* like so many others, I'm developing a theory that, in fact, any job I apply for will go *poof*, and that I, by way of my numerous job applications, am singlehandedly responsible for the recession.  koyote suggests that I could develop a new business model based on this theory, making money by getting people to pay me not to apply for jobs.  He might just have something there.

True, technically, but I'm pretty certain you won't find a constitutional scholar or lawyer in the country who won't agree that that's intended to be read "a natural born citizen [of the United States]," i.e, someone who was born a US Citizen.

Besides, frankly, I don't think I'd want the job. Frustration at being unable to fix all the brokennesses in the system would probably kill me.

I think we're arguing the same thing: the office of president requires that the individual be a natural born citizen. As far as I know, though, if your parents are US citizens when you're born, you're a US citizen yourself, wherever that birth took place.

Mind you, I'm not arguing for you to take the job, just niggling over the details of who would be eligible.

True, that applies too IIRC.

Either way, I'm still not eligible. :)
