Has anyone ever thought about this? The law is that you have to be a "natural born" US citizen to be eligible to become the president. Yet, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams all weren't born in the US. They were born in a British Colony. Yet, they all became president. Was there something that gave them the right to become the president that I don't know about, or did they consider themselves "natural born" in the US because they created it? I found this odd, so I decided to see what others think.
