A President’s parents do not have to be ‘natural born’ citizens. They just have to be US citizens before the child is born. Meaning they renounced any allegiance to a foreign nation BEFORE the child was born.
If two Germans came here, went through naturalization, and had a child born in California, that child could serve as President.
If the parents were here on vacation and were still loyal to Germany, the child could only be considered a US citizen by birth.
This means they could hold a position in the Senate or House (only required to be a citizen) but they could not serve as President.
So if a child is born on American soil to an American parent and a foreign parent (as my children are) then these children are ineligible to serve as president and are thus categorized as second-class citizens?
So I can serve as President but my California-born children cannot because their mother is a legal Ukrainian immigrant? If my children cannont aspire to the presidency as their father can, then my children are second-class citizens.
That's a crock and everyone knows it. We do not have second-class citizens in this country. No court will, in this day and age, designate millions of American-born citizens as second-class on the basis of the allegiance of their parents.
Again, you people are making stuff up.
