Not too early is it? 2008 Presidential fun

yes, you have to be alive to be an American. As Alex pointed out, Canadians are alive and dogs are alive, but neither are Americans. Being alive is not the only requirement.

The quote of mine you cherry-picked was a clarification of my earlier statement that - and I'll repeat this for your benefit, Neph - you must either be born in the United States or naturalized as a citizen to be an American.

Once more, then. Yes or No ... no Huckabees allowed ... is a fetus born or not?

Even if a fetus is alive (which, of course, we can argue about till the cows jump over the moon), can a fetus be an American?
