Corrected history: “The founding fathers felt that if they required that both parents to be citizens at the time of birth of a President”
Wrong, the founding fathers felt that if they required that President be natural-born citizens, ie, citizens from their birth, rather than naturalized citizens, it would limit foriegn influence.
Nowehere can be found the limit or restriction that ‘both parents be citizens’. Nowhere in law.
“he 14th. amendment DID NOT affect or address the issue of Natural Born citizenship as required by Article 2. “
I have disproved this claim already on this thread. Black descendents of slaves became eligible to be President, whereas before they were not. So it did impact eligibility. It did not need to state or change ‘natural-born citizen’ because that is simply a legal term of art to mean citizen from birth.
“The 14th amendment did not give automatic citizenship to anyone born on American soil” ...but everyone who WAS granted citizenship that way was and is a ‘natural-born citizen’.
“Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase “natural-born subject” in England and in the Colonies in the l700s, the clause’s apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the naturalization act of 1790 (expressly defining the term “natural born citizen” to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase “natural born Citizen” would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth”or” by birth.[1]” - Congressional Research Service,
The Congressional Research Service is a far left group that supports obama , everything it writes is heavily biased and false.
At the time the Constitution was wrote only the father could pass on citizenship, the mother had citizenship by virtue of marriage to the father. If it is your claim that both of the parents is not required then obama’s citizenship must be that of his father. There is no law on the books that allow citizenship to anyone without allegiance to our nation.
