The Fourteenth Amendment covers birthright citizenship, but also covers whether or not someone can be disqualified from office if they have "... engaged in insurrection or rebellion...".

Wonder who would benefit if the 14th was repealed?

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The President is very much a figurehead - he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

They were not related, just happened to have a similar name.

He has concepts of a letter and as soon as he gets a letter that is better than the one that Barack Obama wrote then he'll announce it.

Remember that ultimately human resources is not there for you they are there for the interests of the company.
