i’ve got no problem with mocking if that’s what you want to do, only with disingenuousness and hypocrisy.

tbh, i don’t feel any affront if it came about that my children can’t be president, although my personal opinion is that they can. i feel affronted by my country that they can’t be citizens. i was only asking if they could be president to explore the probably fairly unusual case where one or more parents is not american, but the child is a citizen and can be nothing else. surely the test is what the child is, not what their parents are, or the grandparents, or great-grandparents etc.

Apparently you have the mind-reading skills to determine which insults are disingenuous and hypocritical and which aren't.

When it comes to qualifications for the highest office of the land it's not, it wasn't intended to be and definitely should not be. Since the natural born citizen requirement only concerns the status of the parents it is rather disingenuous to bring grandparents and great-grandparents into it.
