In this video from CBS News, an unidentified Turkish man is walking along the side of the road, when a strong gust of wind lifts a metal shack off the ground. In a scene that took my breath away, the 2200-pound structure went flying toward the man, and then smashed into a nearby white van. The man, who lived, was rushed to the hospital for injuries.

Article II
Section 1
Clause 5: 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.
“…except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of of the United States, AT THE TIME OF THE ADOPTION OF THIS CONSTITUTION…”
Before the constition was adopted = You could have been born a non-american (US Citizen) and become president.
After the Constitution was adopted = You have to be born an American Citizen.
Encinom, it is sad how ignorant you are. And worse…it is sad how lazy you are. You can’t even take the time to google the crap you want to spew about.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 7:30pm@ENCIINOM – I find you rather fascinating. You seem desperate for attention, so much so that you can’t stay on topic of the story being covered. I think you must have a very sad story which includes you feeling invisible and unloved. You must be a red-headed step child. Ok everyone on this site, gather around enciinom and give him a big hug. He needs puppies and butterflies in his life. Maybe if we can cheer him up and give him love we can all get back to feeling horrible for the man who had a house fall on him.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 7:20pmI would think any rational person would be interested in why a president would pay $2 million to not release a birth certificate, since a legal birth certificate has no personal information on it that would hurt anyone.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 7:20pmNo, right story.
Just wondering why you tea party clowns are claiming Obama is illegitiment becasue of his birth.
No where in the constitution does it say you have to be an american to be the president.
It also doesnt seem to bother yall that bush was born in peru.

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 10:12pmTry reading the entire constitution. It is in there.
Here is the solution from this point forward: ALL Presidential candidates must provide legally defined birth certificated that will be published for each and every state. Do not comply— not on ballot
