kamui Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 The latest polls show that Hillary is more popular at long last. Wonder if she will challenge him. A lot of it depends on who wins the Republican primary. If its Palin' date=' Obama wins. [/quote'] Palin versus Hillary. I would love to see it :content: Lets hope we don't see Hillary in the White House. I'd say the Republicans have good odds now, especially if a double-dip recession comes to full fruition. And it probably will. It won't be Palin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizardKing Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Pelosi is a player who gets shit done. Well' date=' we seem to agree on this: "shit" is an accurate description. [/quote'] Awwww, poor wittle Hughie, scared of an old lady. But hasn't game enough to say why with facts, just call her names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Martin van Buren was the first president born in the USA. All the rest were born Brits. Ironically, van Buren's first language was Dutch and he always had a slight Dutch accent when he spoke English. p.s. NO, I DID NOT KNOW HIM!

dave32 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Yeah! Van Buren was graduating when Flash was still a freshman!! (Although I think Flash did date Van Buren's younger sister for awhile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Also, Alexander Hamilton, one of the founders, 1st secty' of the Treasury (and was the 'money' guy of the government), whose picture can be found on the $10 bill as well, was actually west indian. He was born in the Caribbean. He couldn't have been elected president because of it. Had he been born in the states, he might have been able to at some point. Who knows.

allistar Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Actually, he could have been President. The constitution (at the turn of the 19th century) said that anyone that was either born in the U.S. or was a citizen of the U.S. at the time the U.S. was formed could be President. The 14th amendment, passed in 1866, put other limitations on citizenship (like being born a "natural born" american) and Congress had the power (and still does) to tweak the law, like allowing children born abroad to a person in the military to be a "natural born american" and persons born in certain U.S. teritories, like Puerto Rico, Guam and the Panama Canal zone have the same distinction. http://michaeldorf.org/2008/02/alexander-hamilton-was-eligible-to-be.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
