Try Mr. Furniture Mover instead.

I shot the little birdie and we ain't redoing no damn bathroom. Between all the teenagers in this house and me you can't get anywhere near the bathroom without an airpack. An unprotected human would suffer brain damage in less than 30 seconds from the lack of oxygen. Tink keeps throwing a can of air freshener in there,but then it just smells like someone crapped a pine tree in the can.

Lmao !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

US presidential candidates born outside the US

"The constitutional wording has left doubts about whether those born on foreign soil are on an equal footing with those whose birth occurred inside the country's borders, and whether they have the same rights."[1] Though every president and vice president to date (as of 2008) has either been a citizen at the adoption of the Constitution, or else born in a U.S. state or Washington D.C.[2], a number of presidential candidates have been born elsewhere.[3]

Barry Goldwater, who ran as the Republican party nominee in 1964, was born in Arizona while it was still a U.S. territory. Although Arizona was not a state, it was a fully organized and incorporated territory of the United States.[4]

George Romney, who ran for the Republican party nomination in 1968, was born in Mexico to U.S. parents. Romney’s grandfather emigrated to Mexico in 1886 with his three wives and children after Utah outlawed polygamy. Romney's parents retained their U.S. citizenship and returned to the United States in 1912. Romney was 32 years old when he arrived in Michigan.

John McCain, who ran for the Republican party nomination in 2000 and is the presumptive Republican nominee in 2008, was born at the Coco Solo U.S. military base in the Panama Canal Zone to U.S. parents. Although the Panama Canal Zone was not considered to be part of the United States,[5] federal law states that "Any person born in the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and whether before or after the effective date of this chapter, whose father or mother or both at the time of the birth of such person was or is a citizen of the United States, is declared to be a citizen of the United States".[6] The law that conferred this status took effect on August 4, 1937, one year after John McCain was born — albeit with retrospective effect, resulting in McCain being declared a U.S. citizen.[7] However, the question as to whether or not he is a citizen from birth cannot be answered by this law because (1) it took effect after his birth and (2) it does not state that the person's citizenship was acquired at birth, only that they are a citizen by means of the law's establishment (and, hence, at the time the law takes effect). Indeed, the law in 1936 stated that all persons born to US citizens outside the "limits and jurisdictions of the United States" are citizens but the problem is that the Panama Canal Zone was within the limits and jurisdictions of the United States. Thus, the status of Mr. McCain remains unsettled.[8]

Article Two of the Constitution sets the principal qualifications to be eligible for election as President. A Presidential candidate must:

* be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
* be at least thirty-five years old;
* have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.

We have a prime minister, which is pretty much like a president anyway just a different name

Still have to be an American.

Romney was born to American parents in a Mormon colony in Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mormon_colonies_in_Mexico). His family moved back to the United States when he was a child.

Born to American Parents, so per our laws that makes you an American.

Barry Goldwater... Born in the US.

Thats why the Governator can't be President and believe I heard he wanted to get the law changed.

Sorry, Rock for assuming that you are a Pure Blooded Australian. ;)
Honestly... she probably be okay until she got bought and paid for like all of our politicians. :eek:

[Curacao_Dejavu]

I remember there was an issue with the governator, but I thought he just not had enough votes to continue.

[Rowdy]

No, Ahh-nold was born in Austria,which is okay if you want to be a Governor but a deal breaker if you want to shack up in the White House. Besides,would you really want Maria running around the place scaring the crap out of everyone???:eek:
