Had an interesting discussion on a group chat with my family last night. My youngest daughter who is liberal and believes the mainstream media (she’ll come around eventually) was up in arms about the mean treatment of little Archie by the royal family. Skin color, lack of title, no security etc. I did a little research on his lack of title and I found out about the George V convention. Long story short there’s a internet chat, discussion about Archie becoming President one while his cousin will be king at the same time.
Yes it does, but "natural born citizens" are not "naturalized."
Therefore congress doesn't have a d@mn thing to do with it.
Some children are amused by a feather or a piece of string.
All rules means who does and who does not (natual born) require naturalization.
The Constitution doesn't say "born citizen." It says "natural born citizen."
You can't make it mean something else by passing new laws.
Natural Born means.....NATURAL BORN (DUH) and needs no Naturalization Law to support it. That's why the 14th amendment has no bearing on this subject and that's why the Presidency is the only Federal Office that makes the distinction......or a citizen "At the time of the adoption of this Constitution... [Article II; Section I]...shall be eligible."
Meaning......you may run for the office if you were previously a British subject......or your parents were.....At the time of the adoption of this Constitution.
But.........after a few years........this became a moot point as all previous American Citizens who had at one time been British subjects....were now dead. At that point Natural Born kicks in.........born of two citizen parents. In addition..........Natural Born has nothing to do with where you were born.....only to whom you were born.
This is why "Obama" was never a Natural Born Citizen. He could have been born on the 4th of July, in the lobby of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, with the Marine Corps band outside on the lawn....playing "God Bless America"......to an American citizen mother. He would still not be a Natural Born Citizen because his father was a British subject....a citizen of Kenya in the British Commonwealth.
He could be a Congressional Representative, Senator, A Governor...even a Supreme Court Justice.....but not a President because of the distinction of that clause...."At the time of the Adoption of this Constitution".
