sorry folks, lots wrong here.
POTUS birth is one thing.
“Candidate’s” birth is relevant too.
just a few recent items:
McCain born in Canal Zone, NOT “US Soil”
Romney’s Dad born in Mexico.
No evidence of Obambis’ birth place produced anywhere, nor documented by anything.
Cruz born in Canada
Rubio, greencard parents not citizens
Jindal parents on student visa’s.
Remember the issue with Goldwater?
Born in Arizona territory before it was a state.
The Donald?
Born in Queens from two citizens parents.
That one meets the requirement.
The common law allows for exceptions to the Jus Soli principle. McCain was still born into the jurisdiction and allegiance of the US. Anyone with even a basic understanding of the the common law understanding of NBC would know that he was a NBC. George Romney was not a NBC. I agree with you there. Goldwater was born in the Arizona territory which was fully subject to US jurisdiction. Goldwater was born into US allegiance and was a NBC. Donald was born on US soil. Obviously a NBC. Rubio is questionable as well. It could go either way there. The common law would make him a NBC however regardless of his parents’ status.
True.
In 2008, we should have had the green party candidate in the oval office since those ahead of him in the vote weren’t eligible. But then rules are only for the little people and some animals are more equal than others. Everybody lies, especially politicians and more so lawyer politicians.
Not that I like McCain, but I have to argue that point.
McCain is the son of an Admiral who at the time of the Senator’s birth was stationed in the Canal Zone....which was a territory of the US. In addition, McCain was born on the US military base...sovereign US soil. Births to military members stationed overseas ARE considered national born.
