Show me in the rules where it says a dog can't play basketball

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

Ain’t no rule!

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if it was born in Japan.

This rule makes no sense. I'm pretty sure George Washington was not born in the US.

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.

They made themselves some special exemptions when they wrote it.

Aha it does not mention adoption of constitution to which country.

Just become president in your birth-country with dual-citizenship and then have it become a US state.

Once US constituion is adopted you can run for US president.

I see. Those crafty little bastards.

[–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Okay guys, we finally have our independence! Now we just have to wait 35 years to actually get an eligible president!

He was born in Virginia, parts of which had been colonized for over a century by the time he was born. Unless you mean because the US didn’t technically exist when he was born, but I don’t think there’s any evidence the Constitution intended to exclude people born before the Revolutionary War.

That’s one of those facts that seems like it shouldn’t be true, but I think that’s just because history classes tend to compress so much of the colonial period to jump straight to the Revolution.

it's about allegiance to a country.

if not in place, what's to stop Putin from being elected US president and then annexing it under the Russian federation?

at least for now he had to put his orange bag of shit in place, which makes it far more difficult to control.

Do snow crabs live to be 35?

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

First info I could find says spider crabs live up to 100. I also says they are delicious somewhere I'm sure: https://fathomseafood.com/blogs/news/how-long-do-crabs-live

fun fact as a kid I read about spider crabs and my dumbass thought they lived in my attic

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

fun fact, they still do but they always hide when you go up there.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 2 months ago

That’d be a Japanese-American Spider Crab

[–] Vizzerdrix@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Not even the most crab president ever

That's the (American) spirit!
