Give Us Liberty: SHRILLARY, MICHELE AND SARAH NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT!

Give Us Liberty: SHRILLARY, MICHELE AND SARAH NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT!: "SHRILLARY, MICHELE AND SARAH NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT!
by John Christian Ryter
In Article II, Section 1, the Constitution appears to establish only three ironclad qualifications for president. The president must (1) be at least 35 years old, (2) have lived in the United States at least 14 years, and (3) be a natural-born citizen. Yet, Article II, Section 1 declares that the President will be a man 16 times. Further, as noted by J.A. Corry, principal of Queen's University in London, and Henry J. Abraham, Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, in their political science text book, Elements of Democratic Government (�1964; Oxford University Press) that in addition to the 'written' qualifications for the office, there are also several 'unwritten' qualifications and customary requirements that precedent has added to the qualifications for the office of President of the United States. Corry and Abraham insist these prerequisites must be viewed in the light of the entire composite. Being male is necessarily one of them."
