Somehow I don't envision that they would have wanted anyone with possible dual loyalties, as is the case with children born to parents who are not citizens.
Given the definition of some on this board, the twins born the American woman and the Mexican drug lord could grow up in Mexico, return to the U.S. as adults and then run for president. I think you would have a **hard** time selling that to the American voter.
The terrorist and U.S.-born Anwar al-Awlaki would have been eligible to run for president according to some on this board. Were his parents U.S. citizens? Was his sole citizenship to the U.S.?
The person running for president must be a citizen, 35 years of age and lived here 14 years.
anwar al-awlaki was not a citizen as he renounced his citizenship, as well as not meeting any of the other requirements.
