My take lurking here is that both sides of the debate on this thread are making a case for doing just that. Even if Obama is natural born, his fulfilment of that requirement hasn't protected our nation from the problems of divided (or potentially divided) loyalties in a president.
Is any judge really free to deport Obama's relatives who are in this country unlawfully? Is any bureaucrat really free to cut off their public assistance? Justice should be blind, shouldn't it?
And what about foreign aid packages? Treaties? Are these biased in favor of the different nations in which Obama has held citizenship or where family of origin continues to reside?
Now that we have intimidation of the press by the executive office, are they really free to report on the president's activities related to those nations? They sure didn't cover Obama and Odinga prior to the election!
Dual/Multi citizens may be patriotic and filled with honorable intentions but the nation needs a mechanism to prevent divided loyalties from influencing the highest office in the land. We shouldn't have to rely on whatever the press or the president decides we should know. An amendment related to dual citizenship would be a start but probably not fully address the problem of divided loyalties. Just my two cents. Back to lurking.
If you start adding amendments every time the loony left redefines a term, you would have hundreds of amendments and adding amendments would never stop.
NBC was specific in it’s meaning at the time and clearly the FF didn’t want anyone with dual loyalties running the country much less having a president that could claim the throne of another country because of birth right.
We don’t need an amendment, we just need people with the courage to say a dual citizen is not eligible for president.
If Cruz isn’t eligible because he is a dual citizen, then clearly Zippo isn’t eligible because he is a dual citizen.
Letting the left tie themselves into knots trying to explain why Zippo is eligible but Cruz isn’t may be trap that has been set.
