VIVEK RAMASWAMY FOR PRESIDENT?????

IS HE EVEN ELIGIBLE?????

I saw Vivek Ramaswamy on the March 6, 2023 Greg Gutfeld show, during which he repeated his announcement that he is a candidate for the 2024 presidential election, first announced on Late Night With Tucker Carlson on Feb 21, 2023.  He sounds like a young Donald Trump, having a very conservative game plan that I like very much.  I have heard him on other FOX shows and like very much what he has to say about how to get the federal government back under the control of We the People and to get the nation back to leading the free world. 

As conservative as Trump is he grew government by creating the "Space Force", another bureaucracy that really isn't needed.  We already have the U S Air Force and NASA so why do we need another bureaucracy to burgeon out of control and spend more money we don't have on offices and equipment so useless bureaucrats can spend their time accessing pornography sites on their computers rather than doing anything useful for We the People.  The last thing working class (tax paying) citizens need is more bureaucrats to swallow up our income so they can watch porn on our money.

So far my only problem with Ramaswamy is that he is Indian, not the  American kind but the India kind of Indian, and it isn't because he is of Indian descent or Hindu, it is a question of eligibility.  The Constitution, in Article II Section 1, Paragraph 5 says "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 the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States."

 The qualification to be a "natural born citizen" is that the candidate's parent had to be either born in the United States or have become naturalized citizens before the candidate was born.  I don't know how old Ramaswamy is and also don't know if he qualifies as a natural born citizen.  I WILL NOT vote for any candidate that falls short of the qualifications laid out in the Constitution, regardless of how much I like their ideas and believe in their sincerity.  In 2008 devildemocommiecrats put barack obama up because he pledged to destroy America, knowing full well he did not qualify under the Constitution.  The only qualifications devil-democommiecrats cite are that a candidate be an anti-American globalist radical dedicated to their one world government new world order dictatorship and fuhrer obama definitely fit their definition of "qualified to hold office".  I know they will vilify Ramaswamy because he is the polar opposite of fuhrer obama and very much like Donald Trump but younger and maybe not as verbally "offensive" to the perpetually offended leftist snowflake crybabies.

As I stated before, I don't know if Ramaswamy is eligible to be president or not but will find out before any voting takes place, and I am positive that if he is not constitutionally eligible that devildemo-commiecrats will be shouting it from the rooftops as soon as they find out.  His biography says he was born in 1985 making him eligible by age and gives a bit of information about his parents but doesn't answer the question of his status as natural born or not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivek_Ramaswamy).   If nothing else, maybe he can drag the ever-left-moving gop back to where sane people can count on them to follow the Constitution and not ignore it to curry favor with the marxists that make so much noise these days.  I hope he is qualified as a natural born citizen because I really like his ideas for making America great again.

I submit this in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, in faith, with the responsibility given to me by Almighty God to honor His work and not let it die from neglect.
