RE: [Marxism] Immigrants and the Declaration of Independence

["Mark Lause" <MLause@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It's a constitutional requirement for the president to be born in the U.S.,
so the answer is...none.  

The early ones that were born before there was a United States were born in
the colonies....Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and William Henry
Harrison were born in Virginia...Adams father and son in
Massachusetts...Jackson in South Carolina...Van Buren in New York.  I think
the rest were born after independence.

I think people my age learned about the Constitution in grade school, so, if
you're a citizen and asking this, you've been screwed...in case you didn't
know.  And applicants for citizenship used to have to know this.

Solidarity!
Mark L.
