'A person who is a citizen of the United States, who has been for 20 years a citizen of the United States, and who is otherwise eligible to the Office of President, is not ineligible to that Office by reason of not being a native born citizen of the United States.' "How is it we give such as Hatch power over us, and represent him to gun owners as a friend without including the total picture?
