I won’t get into the weeds but from what I’ve read over the years it’s been obvious to me the founders intent was for both parents to be US citizens to have a NBC child. BTW, Rubio and Jindal have the same problem, IMHO.

But! Congress and the courts have chosen to ignore that intent over the years and adjusted the laws to reflect it to be needing to be only one parent.

Otherwise, 0bama would also be unqualified to be president and we’ve lived the lie for 8 years now.

Once we have an election that does NOT involve an individual with this potential controversy, there should be a final ruling on this.

The congress should take it up, pass a measure (one way or another)to clarify. The election following this, should produce a candidate with “standing” and then we can have a final answer, once & for all. If not, it becomes an Article V matter, if the political class refuses to act.

The more foreign nationals who are permitted to roll into the homeland, given some sort of legal status of one kind or another, the more URGENT this becomes.

I think you see it correctly. Maybe not with great depth of understanding why, or the legal reasoning, but you do understand. I agree 100% with all of your statements.

Congress has been derelict in discharge of duty, the courts have stood by and watched. Obama is not qualified for the office. He is, in fact, the first to openly usurp the office (he openly admits being born a dual citizen).

Rubio and Jindal likewise are unqualified, of that I have no doubt, but it is a more difficult legal case because they were born in the US, and SCOTUS, a century ago, handed down an awful citizenship precedent that is being extended into a presidential qualifications precedent.

The public, bless their hearts they really are, mostly, a good people, are gullible and ignorant. They can be and are manipulated in ways that are unhealthy for the future of the nation, and they don't even suspect a thing.
