Neurosurgeon Ben Carson said no Muslim should be allowed to be the President of the United States.Carson obviously is not familiar with the Constitution of the United States, so maybe someone should read Article VI paragraph 3 to this jackass.
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
I have to wonder why people who are so gung-ho about their Second Amendment rights are so ignorant about what else is in the Constitution. It is unconstitutional to deny anyone their right to run for and take any office in American government because of their religion. These people seem to have forgotten that this is exactly the same argument they used to support Mitt Romney's candidacy when people said a Mormon should never be allowed to be the president. The same stupid comment was made about President Kennedy's religion when his opponents said a Catholic should not be allowed to be the President. These jackasses can't have it both ways. If someone said no Protestant should be allowed to be President there'd be riots in the streets.
