To: The Ghost of FReepers Past

Didn’t everyone made a big deal about Obama and where he was born? All I know Cruz was born in Canada. I once wanted to run for the Presidency but I was born on foreign soil from one American parent and one naturalized US citizen so based on my understanding of the constitution I was not eligible. Now all of a sudden it all changed?

Cruz is a true constitutional conservative and Trump is a bully and a con man. He said himself, “I can change into anything I want to be.”

You were mistaken. If you are born as a U.S. citizen, you are eligible to be elected President once you are 35 years old and have spent 14 years living in the U.S.

In Ark v United States, the Supreme Court states that the U.S. Constitution recognizes two, and only two (<— The words in the decision) forms of citizenship: citizenship by naturalization and citizenship by birth.

There is no magic third form of citizenship. Who says? The Supreme Court.

No it hasn't changed. What has changed is the dumbing down of voters.
