Rapaire, since the Constitution requires one to be 35yo to be President, thus it would have been quite impossible for a natural born citizen to qualify until 1824 (or 1811 if you count from July 4, 1776), thus that would have been the earliest date possible. John Tyler (ing 1841) was the first President born after the ratification of the Constitution; Martin Van Buren (ing 1833) the first born after the Declaration of Independence.

I don't mean to speak for Arlo G., but I don't believe he thinks blacks or women should be disenfranchised. I don't agree with his choice, but it gives a whole new way of seeing the gutsy Guthrie.
