Schwarzenegger was born in Austria and immigrated later, so there is zero argument to be made that he is eligible.

Obama - even though he served up a forged birth certificate in my view, the easy argument here is that he was born to an American mother.

Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley were both born on U.S. soil to immigrant parents, so there's definitely an argument against being natural born citizens, but probably not strong enough one to matter.

This all assumes any court would even pursue this issue, especially since Obama served as President, even though his father wasn't an American and a strict interpretation could have been that he was ineligible for that reason.

Nailed it. There were over 50 challenges and lawsuits brought against Obama. How many were heard? How many actually went to court?

None. Nada. Zip. Zero. 

And this will be the be the case if Nikki or Vivek get selected. Which they won't.

BUT, she was not old enough to be able to convey citizenship to Obama. Besides it has to be BOTH parent”s”.

“But the short version is that his mother wasn’t old enough to confer citizenship on any foreign-born child of hers. At the time, the law stated that a mother only conferred citizenship on a foreign-born child of a non-citizen father if she had lived in the U.S. for at least 5 years after the age of 14.”
