Hee mother was a U.S. citizen and so she is natural born. Well, except for Birthers.
even if born out of the country? Why did McCain need a congressional resolution?
Jennie Spencer-Churchill, known as Lady Randolph Churchill, was a natural born US citizen, and a British socialite, the wife of Lord Randolph Churchill and the mother of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill.
Under US citizenship law at the time of Churchill’s birth, despite the fact that his mother was a NATURAL BORN US citizen, she could not transmit her US citizenship on to young Winston owing to her marriage to a foreign national, Sir Randolph Spencer Churchill, who was Winston’s father. That would not be legally allowed until the passage of the Cable Act of 1922, well after Churchill’s birth in 1874. The Cable Act only confers citizenship, NOT NATURALLY BORN citizenship. It did not refer to, or alter the meaning of an Article II, Sec. 1, clause 5 “natural born citizen” in any way.
Churchill was granted HONORARY US citizenship by an act of Congress on 9 April 1963. It was understood that his birth to a an NBC citizen US mother in Great Britain did not make him a citizen by law.
“Her mother was a U.S. citizen and so she is natural born. Well, except for Birthers.”
Big Fail.
No, those of us who support the Constitution, and deny ineligible candidates are NOT “Birthers”.
Nosir, not even by THEIR definition:
Birther: a person who subscribes to or promotes the incorrect belief that former US president Barack Obama was born outside the United States and was therefore ineligible to be president under the provisions of the US Constitution.
Don’t you just Love our domestic enemies’ insertion of “incorrect”.
FOAD domestic enemies!!!!!!
