There has been a lot of discussion in recent days about Senator Feingold's proposed constitutional amendment. As most people know, this amendment would change the system of gubernatorial appointment of Senators with direct elections. Now, there are good and bad arguments for both sides (I tend to fall in the anti-amendment camp for reasons of federalism, but that isn’t what this diary is about). There is a strong con argument that does not seem to have been raised by anyone: This amendment might be unconstitutional.

A diary on the Rec List points out that NC ballots do not include votes for president. While this is true, please do not call the Obama campaign to let them know. I promise you they are already informed.

I'm living in Boston, starting my second year of law school, but I'm still registered in North Carolina. On may way home yesterday I dropped my ballot in the mail.

At this point, the writing is on the wall. Hillary Clinton ran a good campaign but at this point there are to many assumptions built into any math that the Clinton camp is using. And the most likely chance she has of becoming president is now furthered by the suspension of her campaign.

The Constitution requires that in order to be president of the United States one must be "a natural born Citizen." US Const. art II, § 1, cl. 4. What exactly does "natural born Citizen" mean? Sen. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was under U.S. administration but not sovereignty. (Art. II, www.bartleby.com/43/47.html) As such is he eligible to be president of the US?

NOTE: Before telling me I'm an idiot kindly check the link at the bottom of my diary. Thanks
