In Legel terms..

Birthright citizenship may be conferred by jus soli or jus sanguinis. Under United States law, any person born within the United States (including the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands)[1] and subject to its jurisdiction is automatically granted U.S. citizenship,[2] as are many (though not all) children born to American citizens overseas.

The same fact applies to anchor babies. He was born here by birth right he is an American. This is backed up by the 14th Amendment Section 1.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Now, Prove me Wrong.

uhhhh. No one is saying he’s not an American citizen.

Running for PRESIDENT goes far and above being a citizen. He must be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN which has stricter requirements than just being a citizen.

You do know all that already, right???
