Herbert Hoover’s Vice President, Charles Curtis wasn’t born in a state of the Union (Kansas Territory a year before statehood) and he was an enrolled member of a sovereign Indian Nation (The Kaw Nation) making him also a dual citizen.

Where does it say the territories of the U.S. are not part of the soil of the U.S.

Are you saying that a "Natural Born Citizen" from Guam, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands cannot aspire to the presidency? That's a new one on me. You had better inform those Representatives in the House who represent those particular territories of this .....because I think they disagree with you.

Why do you go out of your way attempting to prop up this foolishness?

Charles Curtis was born on U.S. Soil.....and the "Kaw Nation" was not considered a foreign territory.

Citizens from the Virgin Islands, Guam and Puerto Rico can vote in primary elections but not in the general election and those territories have no electoral votes.
The Representatives from the territories in the House are “delegates.” They have no vote, except within their party caucuses.
You might remember the exchange between New York Democrat Congressman Jose Serrano and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Thomas testifies about the Dupreme Court’s budget every year before a House sub-committee where Serrano is the ranking member. They have a standing joke that Serrano (born in Puerto Rico) asks Justice Thomas every year if he can run for president. In 2009, Thomas replied “We’re evading that issue, but you can definitely serve on the Supreme Court.” Some birthers took Thomas’ answer to mean that the Supreme Court is evading the Obama eligibility issue but Thomas was only speaking about a person born in Puerto Rico becoming president.
