Thread I saw on another message board: Will Tim Tebow be President one day?

He'd have the social conservative vote, could work to get his other credentials up to par, has the looks, is great with the media, and of course is a leader, and has serious name recognition in red states.

Could we be seeing President Tim Tebow in 2040, when he'll be 50 years old?

Oh good Lord I hope not :doh:

Tim Tebow in the White House ?

But is America ready for a Gay-tor President ?

Nah, he'd never make it in professional politics. His delivery is too slow, and he can't just overpower his opponents at that level, and.....

Wait, what? Oh, nevermind.

Tim was born in the Philippines.

EDIT: nevermind. Guess that's irrelevant here.

Win......

Tim was born in the Philippines.

There is plenty of time for the Constitution to be amended

With the amount of immigrants coming into the country, I think that obstacle will be removed within a decade

So we can't hate on Favre, but hating on Tebow is a-okay?

LOL. Born to American parents. He is as natural born as anyone.

My question is how smart is he? His SAT scores were pretty weak, as I recall.

I am trying to think in the context of 30 years from now.

The guy could start to work on things politically in terms of understanding economics, foreign affairs etc. If he is has hard working as people say he is, and open to advice, he could make some strides.

"Smart" isn't always better in leading . Recall a certain Simpons episode

Hmmm, guess not.

# Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.

:secret: Look at the previous President.

The previous president was not an idiot. Don't kid yourself.

Tebow apparently got below 900 on the SATs - on his second try, after prepping heavily for the test. That's pretty awful.

If someone were to give me say 3000-1 odds, I would put $20 on it.

You can't win without the South, if you know what I mean.

:hysterical:

So you don't have to be born in the U.S. to run for president?

Nope. You need to be a "natural born citizen." That means that you need to be a citizen on the day you are born, not a naturalized citizen. The children of American citizens are automatically citizens, wherever they are born. Children of non-Americans are automatically citizens if they are born in the USA. Either way works.

By the way, John McCain was born in Panama.

Is that 900 on the old 1600 scale, or 900 on the new 2400 scale?

Please tell me the 2nd one, because that would be much funnier.

Yeah, I edited in a link a couple posts back. I guess I learned something new here. :cool:

Yep. And let's not forget that Obama was born in Kenya to non-US parents. Proof that you don't even need to meet the minimum criteria.

So, no loop-hole for Ahhhh-nold ?

President? Don't think he has the smarts for that. But a House Rep. from florida or state office sure.

Nope, he's not eligible in any common interpretation.

What?!

That is nuts.

I seriously hope that in 30 years from now, we have moved past that kids philosophies.

Heath Shuler didn't have the smarts to play QB in the pros, but had the smarts to become a House Rep, so there's hope.
