Was John Adams eligible to be President?

Was our 2nd U.S. President, John Adams, eligible to occupy the Office of President?

From Article 2, Section 1:

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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

John Adams took office on March 4th, 1797.

Final ratification for the Articles of Confederation took place on March 1, 1781. That ratification officially formed the perpetual union of state, the United States. For the sake of argument, we'll put the date at July 4th, 1777.

So, for those keeping track, or in doubt, I'm giving up nearly four years. It still won't matter.

John Adams had attained an age of 35 by the time he took the Office of President. Adams was born on October 30th, 1735.

Had John Adams been fourteen years a resident within the United States by the time he occupied the Office of President?
Uh-oh.

Nineteen years and eight months passed between July 4th, 1777 and the time John Adams took office as President on March 4th, 1797.

Did John Adams reside outside of the country for any amount of time longer than five years and eights months, between the time of July 4th, 1777 and March 4th, 1797?

Is Ron Paul constitutionally ineligible to be President of the United States?

According to the U.S. Constitution, there cannot be a President of the United States.


Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5:
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; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.


No person, except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, can be president. Say that out loud, please.


Furthermore, that natural born citizen or citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, must have been a resident within the United States for at least 14 years and have attained an age of at least 35 years.


It was impossible for George Washington to be President of the United States. He had not been a resident of or within the United States for 14 years prior to the enactment of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. There was no United States before the enactment of the Constitution in 1787.

Ron Paul outlasts John Edwards? Guthrie backs Paul

It has been trumpeted loud and far that Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States. Ron Paul may have just gotten a better endorsement from a resident of that fine state, from legendary singer-songwriter Arlo Guthrie.

The Florida Republican primary took place today. Ron didn't win. Results are still coming in, but it is clear that another state has gone by without a real Republican frontrunner emerging. Watch for a solid finish in Maine from the Ron Paul Revolution.

An interesting interview with Mitt Romney pushed radio host Mark Larsen to support Ron Paul for President.
