Whoa, calm down. I was just responding to another poster. I really don’t know what the accurate definition of NBC is - have read pros on cons on FR and still trying to decide. I support Trump, but would support Cruz or Rubio if they were the nominee (not that it would matter in WA State).
I’m not sure who the “two natural born citizens born on American soil” you are referring to. If you think that is the definition of NBC, then I agree with that as do many others. However, some think that the definition of NBC can include individuals other that someone born on US soil that were born to 2 parents that were born on US soil.
Rubio was born in the US, but his parents were not US citizens at the time. Cruz was born in Canada and his mother was a US citizen.
I think your example is a bit specious - I don’t see Trump ever marrying a Muslim woman. And, if he did and the kids were born and raised in the US as Christians, it might not be an issue.
What about a non-citizen, such someone coming over from Syria as a refugee or Mexico just before delivery, having a baby here (essentially an anchor baby). Could/should the anchor baby be able to be president - IMHO no.
Look, bottom line I think many of us would like to see this resolved sooner rather than later. If Cruz or Rubio are the Republican nominee, the Dims will take them to court (Alan Grayson in Fl has already threatened that). It would create a huge chaotic environment right before the general election.
I really don't know what the accurate definition of NBC is...
Well, it isn't a foreign-born naturalized citizen, or an anchor baby.
