Oh, and anyone who is a dual citizen will not be granted secret clearance.
Y'know, somebody should really let Tom Tancredo know this before he wastes his time running for President again. Since he almost certainly has dual citizenship with the U.S. and Italy.
It's funny how no one ever claimed he was ineligible during the campaign.
That’s not completely correct. There were quite a few people who filed suits against numerous unqualified candidates, including McCain and Colero, who was born in South America but managed to get onto the ballots anyway. Several made it up to the Supreme Court but were rejected. And rightfully so. The cases were not filed correctly.
No one claimed Tancredo was ineligible because nobody cared as his chances were virtually non-existant for a win. Citizens of the country don’t know the nuances, nor care about the Constitution until it jeopardizes their liberties.
You make a very valid point. He should have never made it on the ballot as the Secretary of every state in the union is responsible for ensuring unqualified candidates remain off the ballots. They know the laws, and there was clear uncertainty as to eligibility with certain candidates like McCain. How Calero remained on state ballots when numerous other states set a precedent by removing his name speaks volumes as to the lack of accountability these governments possess. They swore oathes to the Constitution and they have power under the supreme law of the land to to what they can legally to protect it.
