There are millions of foreign students here. Are you saying they can conceive children with US citizens while here and those children are “natural born” and can be President of the US? That doesn’t even seem to be good common sense to me much less to the founding fathers who were far more visionary than anyone I’ve heard from in many years.
I would think “natural born” would mean born as a citizen with no statutory requirements. If you are born of both citizen US parents (here or anywhere), you require nothing further in the law to be a citizen. All the situations I’ve seen discussed are dependent upon some statutory change which, in itself, would mean not natural born but requiring a statute.
Also, I thought Ann was born in 1942. If so, she was 18 at his birth.
Yes, that appears to be the case.
I do not defend it on common sense or any other grounds.
If you are born here and claim you are a citizen no further action is necessary you are indeed a citizen. Hence millions of “anchor babies”. Until the courts rule otherwise this appears to be the case.
My understanding is that Barack was born when Ann was still 17.
