A "Foreigno President

THE Constitution of the United
l. States says that only native
born citizen of the United States
shall serve as President. Does that
mean that if a President becomes a
citizen of another country, he is au-
tomatically barred from office?
If it does, then Abraham Lincoln
should have been deposed from the
Presidency three weeks after he
was inaugurated. For on March 20,
1861, the regent captains of the tiny
European republic of San Marine
officially made Lincoln a citizen of
that republic. In the San Marine
archives is letter from the Amer
lean President thanking his great
and good friends" for the honor and
if this can be construed as an &C
ceptance of it, then he became cit
izen of San Marino.
But Lincoln wasn't the only for
eign President. Herbert Hoover
was another. Under the laws OF
Switzerland, while he was Presl-
dent he was still a Swiss (and still
is) and technically subject to mil
itary service in the European re-
public just because his ancestor, a
man then going by the name OF
Huber, came to this country more
than 100 years ago and didn't Off
cially relinquish his citizenship IN
his native land.
