“Do you know how many times legislation has been introduced and shot down, that would do exactly what you want to happen in this case? “

Never.

Someone born in the USA of alien parents can run for President because they are natural born citizens.

Someone born in the USA of alien parents can run for President because they are natural born citizens.

Again, here is the list of people born here that were not " citizens."

1. British Loyalists after the war.
2. Slaves.
3. Indians.
4. Children of Women married to Foreigners prior to the Cable act.
5. The Children of Foreign Diplomats.

Your theory has a list of exceptions so large you can drive a truck through it! But yeah, I know you are going to come back with your drivel about how THIS exception or THAT exception doesn't disprove the rule.

But do you know what? If you look at citizenship through the Jus Sanguinus principle, NONE of those are exceptions!

H3ll, even the British use the Jus Sanguinus principle of law to chose their chief executive. Born in England but not a member of the Royal Family? Sorry, you aren't qualified to lead that nation.

Now back to you for a nonsensical rebuttal.
