The Constitutional requirements to be president are:
1. be at least 35 years old
2. be a natural-born US citizen*
3. live in the US for 14 years.
* The Constitution specifically states that one must be a "natural-born" US citizen not "native-born." "natural born " is not defined by the Constitution and has not definitively been defined by the Supreme Court but is generally interpreted to mean either born in US territory or born of US citizens (see the Related Link below on US Code Title 8 for more information).
The exact words from the Constitution in Article II, 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. "
The 22nd amendment gives an additional requirement in that it makes a person ineligible for president if he had already been twice elected president or has been elected once and also served more than two years of a term to which he was not elected.
Are right wingers really proud that sore losers are using the American flag in an attempt to emulate a toddler throwing a hissy fit?
I am a proud republican....guess you would call me a 'right winger.'
To answer your question, no, I am not proud. While I did not vote for Obama and honestly don't want to call him my president, it is terrible for a national company like McDonald's to make such a statement.

Omg! Alert the press! One of the first reasonable post-election republicans on this forum. Props for not being a sore loser.

Well I am not a poor loser at all, thank you very much!
While I did NOT vote for Obama, I do realize that we all need to see the election is over and it is time to work together. This country needs a lot of help and both sides need to work together.

Too bad many people who share your ideology will attempt to not work with the president for pride reasons.

It is to bad and I can only hope they change their minds. However, I can only do my part and try not to judge others at this point. I fought hard for Romney and he lost so it is time to move on.
.... it is terrible for a national company like McDonald's to make such a statement.
it was not from corporate mcdonald's. it was a single location whose owner now claims was due to a malfunction ( i'm not buying her excuse).
