The rule: If you are born a US citizen, you are eligible to run for President.

So anyone in that situation can run for President. Doesnt mean they will win, but anyone born and raised in the US is on a level playing field. That’s the meaning and the intent of the 14th amendment, so we did not have 2nd class citizenship.

If we want to address the anchor baby situation, we can, by using the ‘under the jurisdiction’ clause to limit it to those born to legal residents and exclude those born to illegal aliens.

In order to be President you have to be a Natural Born Citizen, not a Citizen.

No we can’t. Illegal aliens are not outside U.S. jurisdiction. They are simply in violation of U.S. law.
