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???
Within the U.S. it is by birth as opposed to be being born overseas where the parent are American. The Constitution itself does not define what is a Natural Born Citizen.
The arguements I am seeing here relate to the Dred Scott v. Sandford case which was nullifed by the 14th Amendment.
Man I do miss Congressmanbillybob.
“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.”
Yes, there is a level of citizenship beyond citizenship pure and simple. It is called being born a citizen—or natural born citizenship—as opposed to being naturalized.
“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.”
Natural-born citizen simply means someone who is a citizen from birth, ie, not a naturalized citizen. That’s it, nothing more.
Where are those “far and above” requirements in law? We know this much - they DO NOT EXIST in US law. There are no requirements in US law defining natural born citizen to be anything other than what it means - someone who is a citizen from their birth.
