agreed...military base is considered US soil....

Im not trying to make this post about Obama but about the Naturalization Act of 1790/5/8 and what is has to do with being eligible for office. This post is meant to be more of an intellectual exercise...

The constitution says:
"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..."
The founding fathers only wanted people born on US soil to be able to run for president. They did not want congress to have the power to decide who is allowed and who isnt. Hence their wording...natural born citizen, or citizen at time of adoption of the constitution.

The Naturalization Act of 1798 was passed by congress. This act did exactly what our founding fathers didnt want...it allowed congress to to decide who is allowed to run by broadening the term of natural born.

Also, another thing to think about....
If Obama gets sworn in, congress passes bills, those bills have t be signed by the president.
Say they find out 2 years later that he is not a natural born citizen. Therefore, will every bill he signed be null and void?
