If memory serves the federal requirements speak to only age, and in the
case of a President place of birth. The rest per the (almost defunct)
10th Amendment is left to the individual states. Two branches to follow on
this topic. The requirement for birth in the US extends to all those
listed in the Presidential Succession laws. Or does it? If some office
is listed in the Presidential Line Of Succession does that not ipso fact
mean those office holders must be US born or not be listed? Branch Two is
the discussion of impeachment or replacement by whatever meansof a state
elected representative or senator (representative at large) to the
federal government. Let's assume a Senator, such as Bob Packwood of Oregon
(R) or Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts (D) was 'recalled' as some states
have the right to do or otherwide legally removed from office by their
home state and prior to the normal end of their term. What would happen?

The 19th Amendment "gave" women the right to vote, and the Civil Rights
Amendment "gave" blacks the right to vote, which implies that these are
enumerated rights granted by the Constitution, then where does it say that
women and blacks have the right to hold political office?
