I believe that John F. Kennedy, when delivering a speech to the German people during the time of the Berlin blockade, said, "Ich bin ein Berliner."

I do not think he intended it to be interpreted as "I am not an American citizen and, therefore, am not legally qualified to be President of the United States because I am actually German. I was born in the city of Berlin."

Of course he didn't mean that. What he meant was exactly what he said: "I am a jelly doughnut."

Obviously, a jelly doughnut is not qualified to be President of the United States!
