The only Constitutional office where "Born of the soil" and "Born of the blood" is a requirement.....is that of the presidency. You don't have to be born in this country or born of citizen parents to be included in the administration of any president (i.e. Henry Kissenger!)
The same applies to the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court. The only requirement is "Citizen" (born of the soil to non citizen parents)......or "Naturalized Citizenship" (by immigration law).....or, indeed...."Natural Born" (of the soil and the blood). Any of the three types of citizenship..... will suffice for non presidential office seekers.
“Muslim” is a religion, not an ethnicity or a nationality. I was discussing a religious test for president.
“Jus Sanguinis” is not a requirement to be president. It is one method of acquiring citizenship.
According to Justice Antonin Scalia:
Justice Scalia: …” I mean, isn’t it clear that the natural born requirement in the Constitution was intended explicitly to exclude some Englishmen who had come here and spent some time here and then went back and raised their families in England?
They did not want that.
They wanted natural born Americans.”
Respondent’s Attorney:
[Ms.]. Davis: “Yes, by the same token…”
Justice Scalia: “That is jus soli, isn’t it?”
[Ms.] Davis: “By the same token, one could say that the provision would apply now to ensure that Congress can’t apply suspect classifications to keep certain individuals from aspiring to those offices.”
Justice Scalia: “Well, maybe.”
I’m just referring to the meaning of natural born within the Constitution.
I don’t think you’re disagreeing.
It requires jus soli, doesn’t it?”—From oral arguement, Tuan Ahn Nguyen v. INS (99-2071)
And from Founding Father, president and primary author of the Constitution James Madison: “It is an established maxim, that birth is a criterion of allegiance. Birth, however, derives its force sometimes from place, and sometimes from parentage; but, in general place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States. It will therefore be unnecessary to investigate any other.”—1789-House of Representatives
Dual citizen in the oval office, it just ain’t natural.
It’s like having two husband’s at a wedding.
Which one gets to kiss the bride? You have to make that decision. It just ain’t natural. Thats the wild card.
Which husband goes on the honeymoon? And which one gets the ring? Can the odd one get a girlfriend? Which one pays alimony?
