After Hillary Clinton's claim earlier this month that only she and John McCain have "crossed the commander-in-chief threshold," there's been a fair amount of discussion over what exactly that threshold is. I've been thinking about it, and I think I've come up with a simple solution:
- The commander-in-chief must be a natural born citizen of the United States.
- The commander-in-chief must be at least 35 years old.
- The commander-in-chief must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.
There,
that was easy.
