DeSantis’s mother may have been a U.S. citizen even though she grew up in Poland. I’d like to know more details.
someone mentioned Dukakis earlier. Were his parents citizens when he was born? If not, then based on the strictest criteria being discussed here, then he would not have been a natural born citizen.
And all of these discussions depend on the criteria we are using to define citizenship. Some people say both parents must have been American citizens at the time of your birth for you to be natural born. But what about Obama, who only had 1 parent who was an American citizen? Ditto Ted Cruz, if he ever runs for president again. Only his mother was an American citizen when he was born.
LOL
Karen DeSantis grew up in Poland, OH not the country of Poland. As Emily Litella would say....never mind. Ron is natural born by any definition.
