I didn't claim that Rösler is chancellor. In theory, he could still become prime minister of a state or chancellor. As you probably know the Green Party just got their first prime minister, so small parties can grow big. And really, going from 15% to 24% doesn't look that impossible at all. He is still very young.

Anyway, my point was, that place of birth plays no role in Germany. And, certainly the vice president must meet the same requirements as the president since he automatically takes over if something happens to the president. I think this true for most organizations, no?

I just forgot, that PG was English born. So this submission of mine was clearly bullshit. By the way I don't advocate that the US changes this law. I think there are plenty of good candidates anyway.
