The 19th Amendment changed all that. Then it was codified into law.
Ted is natural born of his American citizen mother, has a US Passport and is on the ballot in all primary states. He is 100% eligible because of his mother.
Mothers today are every bit as equal to fathers of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Get a clue. This is Donald acting like a grizzly because he wants to win. There is nothing wrong with that. He’s going to do what he has to do. He’s going to throw everything he thinks is worth throwing at Ted.
This is about Iowa.
It’s not as easy for Donald to take down Ted as it was for him to take down other candidates. But he’s doing fine. He will be the nominee and then he will kiss and makeup with Ted.
In the meantime, certain people should not get so wrapped up in shoehorning a fit to Donald’s allegations of Ted’s ineligibility. It doesn’t fit but it will stir up certain people against Ted. That’s the objective.
I didn't make this up; it's what our GOVERNMENT tells EVERY person who is studying to take the Naturalization test, to become a citizen here.
Please....do NOT take my word for that, go look it up for yourself.
The 19th amendment is about women’s right to vote
It addresses the two previous mentions of Natural Born Citizen not one iota
Natural Born Citizen is mentioned twice
Once in Constitution :
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”
Only once again in 1790 :
“The Naturalization Act of 1790 stated that “the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”
The 1795 Act repealed some of the 1790 act for simple citizenship requirements but it did not address the section one article II of the US Constitution where the term was first realized in detailing POTUS eligibility
That’s about it. There have been other rulings and acts on citizenship but those two areas are the ONLY place where the term Natural Born Citizen exists in founding documents and acts and subsequent rulings and legislations
