That, alone, should have been enough to get everyone interested in protecting and preserving the Constitution and our Republic to get involved.
Now, with Barry setting the precedent in the wide open that anyone born owing allegiance to a foreign power is eligible to be our President and Commander in Chief of our armed forces.
According to much of the country...and many here on FR, the Dauphin of France, Prince Louis Duke of Burgundy is constitutionally eligible.
The "strong check" placed in our Constituion against foreign influence upon the office of the President, has been openly destroyed. One now, only needs the backing of the media, academia and hollywood to be determined eligible.
John Jay, the framers and the rest of the founders would be appalled.

It doesn't matter that Britain was willing to extend him citizenship because of his father. Foreign countries have no legal power here.
If that weren't the case, North Korea could destroy America by passing a law tomorrow making everyone born in the United States a North Korean citizen. Then nobody would be eligible to be President, and we would be stuck without a leader.
Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way. Our founding fathers never intended to give such power to foreign countries, and they didn't.

No, they wouldn't. John Jay was born a British citizen himself. And so were virtually all of the rest of the Founders and Framers.
