An NBC can be POTUS obviously, but just what IS that?. NBC is a person who never held the citizenship of any other Nation other than that of the USA. Ever. There is ZERO question about that persons citizenship, and THAT was the intent of the founders.

The problem with that argument is it gives a country other than the US the power to determine who may be a natural born citizen of the US. Theoretically, using that logic, another country, say Mali, could grant automatic citizenship to all US citizens. Who then would be eligible to hold the office of president?

That’s not a valid argument and here is why.

Another Nation can say anything it wants to. It has exactly zero effect on either us or our laws. It simply doesn’t work that way. The United States does not recognize the authority of any other Nation to do so. It would require that we give up our national sovereignty.

That’s not going to happen.

“The problem with that argument is it gives a country other than the US the power to determine who may be a natural born citizen of the US.” All this time I thought you were at least of average intelligence. Now, reading that piece of sophistry, it is obvious you are not; and further, you are spittling with an agenda when you make such fallacious assertions. Have you messiah kneepads yet?
