“Under the 14th Amendment’s Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship.”

Nope, the Supreme Court did not rule on natural born citizenship in that case. Don’t have the time to explain that and it has been done by people here more qualified than me.

According to your logic, the ten million illegals who just entered the country could have a baby and it would be a natural born citizen. That would mean natural born has no signification so why would it be a qualification to be president? Do you really think the writers of the Constitution thought it would be necessary for the president to be a citizen?

The writers of the Constitution had no idea what they were doing. Their vague writings were later amended. Still didn’t clarify what a NBC is. So SC decisions and hundreds of lower court decisions apply now.

Add this all up and guess what? ANY US citizen could be president. No matter where they were born. No matter where there parents were born.

See Trump, Kamala, Obama, McCain, Cruz and etc. as proof.
