Angelina Jolie Gives Birth (in Africa)

[C2ShiningC]

Congratulations! It's a Baby Lip!

[machogirl]

but the little darling can now, never be President

[KJC1]

Now, I am not a fan of McCain (and that is a GROSS understatement) but wasn't he born on a base or other soil considered U.S. soil in Panama? That would make him eligible via the birth issue.

Other than that, I don't think children of American parents born overseas are eligible. I'm sure someone will correct if I am wrong, and I hope that happens in case my understanding is mistaken.

[Fawn]

Well, thank God, the kid can't be President. (At least not yet.)

[DoughtyOne]

This child will be fawned over by the media for the next 75 years, as it grows up to mirror mom and dad's views and worse.

Your children will grow up and die while this child puts pressure on a system that is hell bent to put them into subservience.

You'll have to pardon me for realizing this is a non-event. It's just the media's way of welcoming in the latest person who will front for them in the decades to come.

As such, I find nothing to celebrate here.

These folks are simply too strange.


So many looks, so little brains.

[Quark606]

I agree. Why don't we forward this story to a democrats forum. I'm sure they will put it on priority.

After downloading a tricycle motor in Africa, the question is:Will she stay there?

[dfwgator]

Well la dee freakin' da!

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt

Oh yeah - this kid will be in therapy for sure.

Gotta love that hyphenated last name too, and he isn't even a day old yet.

[paulat]

So, does that make him/her an illegal alien in the U.S.?

Are you really that ignorant? Both parents are American citizens. As trivial as this post is, you are a great illustration of the lack of education in this country.

[Radix]

:...well Brad and Angelina's kid can thank them for make it impossible for him/her to run for President."


I think that you might be wrong about that.

My kid was born in a US Army hospital in Germany.

He has been busy for the last few years defending our worthless lives with his very own skin.

Is he should he be ineligible for the presidency too?

My kid was born in a US Army hospital in Germany.

I didn't know Brad Pitt or Jolie was in the military...

[Spirited]

LOL Good one!

[Echo Talon]

Ahh, I thought it only applied to members of the military...

[blueminnesota]

The only requirements a presidential candidate must have are that he or she is at least 35 years old, is a natural-born citizen of the United States or was a citizen at the time the Constitution was written, and has lived in the United States at least 14 years.

Any children born to American parents are "natural-born citizens". Place of birth is irrelevent. Did everyone on this board fail civics class? ;-)

[KJC1]

It's not that I disagree with much of what you just said, perhaps the negativity ravaging FR lately is just getting to me.

I wish her well, as I am sure you do too. She is being born into much opportunity, and I am sure we all wish her well on that journey, including realizing that her parents are politically-challenged.

I guess so.. I thought that only applied to members of the military.

[proudofthesouth]

I was born on a U.S. Army base in Germany. Because my Dad was born and raised in the U.S. and my Mom by that time had become a naturalized U.S. Citizen, I am a U.S. Citizen.
