She's not constitutionally eligible. Surely the Trump campaign has already looked into it her parents status at her birth.

If she was born in this country she is eligible.

So what. Fricken Obummer was Kenyan born and no one cared. Doesn’t matter: pedophile, sex addict, drug addict, criminal, tax evader, all you need to say is democrat

Why did Newsweek apologize?

It has been ruled on multiple occasions by the Supreme Court that there are no superflous words in the U.S. Constitution

From Article I, Section 2
No person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state in which he shall be chosen.

From Article I, Section 3
No person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the age of thirty years, and been nine years a citizen of the United States and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that state for which he shall be chosen.

From Artcle II, Section 1
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States.

In plain words, Representatives and Senators just need to be 'a citizen'. The President must be 'a natural born' citizen, unless you are about 250 years old. The phrase 'natural born' must have a different meaning, or it would not have been included.

So now we have another mainstream media outlet that is insisting on backing a non-natural born citizen for one of the highest offices. Maybe the msm should be called "unnatural borners".
