Durbin: Illegal Alien Could Be Future President...

If Sarah Palin or Michelle Bachmann said this we would never hear the end of it. 

After using illegal immigrants as props to push the DREAM Act, Sen. Durbin (D-IL) made the following statement at a Senate committee hearing:

"When I look around this room, I see America's future. Our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our Congressman, our Senators and maybe our President."

However, Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution says: "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."

Of course the "living constitution" is vague on the meaning of "natural born citizen."  If you don't know, just ask TIME magazine.
