My grandfather had four sons, all born in the U.S., but before he himself got his citizenship. His wife, my grandmother, was born in the U.S. I’ve had people on this board tell me that my dad and uncles weren’t ‘natural-born’ citizens and thus were ineligible to be President.
I respectfully disagree and frankly have never heard of any court ruling that made that claim.
Having said that, it is fascinating that Obama’s dad wasn’t a citizen, didn’t plan to become one and never did. Neither did his step-dad. Obama’s mom seemed to favor foreign types and Obama spent his boyhood listening to the call to prayer in Indonesia.
And now we have Harris whose parents weren’t citizens at the time of her birth and like Obama she was raised in a different country.
BOTH parents have to be US citizens to produce Presidential eligible offspring.
As long as Grandpa was not a citizen, none of his kids were not eligible to be NBC
