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.
“That’s what I thought but I think the door was kicked open when Congress ok’ed McCain when he ran in 2008.”
You think Mccain was not a natural born citizen because when he was born his father, a U.S. Navy admiral, and his mother, a U.S. citizen, were on military orders to a foreign country?
If he ran as a Rat of course he would be.If he ran as a Republican we all know the answer......
And as a Rat he is entitled to a free 600,000 vote paste into the election night database.
I used he but that may be the wrong pronoun for him/she/etc.
I've never been able to verify that. Can you point me to a website that specifically says that?
The only reference I've been able to find is that the constitution only says Natural Born Citizen, it makes no reference to father.
Thanks
Will there be a US in 35 years?
As a republicant, no. As a Demonrat, always because there are no rules for radicals.
It’s actually a pretty fun question. It could be like when first cousins George V, Nicholas II and Wilhelm II were all on European thrones. Worked out great.
Of course not. McCain was a citizen.However the way the law is written is leaving gray areas which will continue to be talked about until tightened up
Yes.
As you indicated citizenship is not necessarily NBC- but is an eligibilty requirement for POTUS
Oops...should read “US citizen”.
The inbred monarchy has no business being in the US. The poor kid might have US citizenship via mommy but he is no more qualified than anchor baby Harris, Lyn’ Ted, Little Marco, and other spawn of non-citizen, not born in American kids.
THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY WOULD NEVER BE STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR SUCH A............
oh wait, never mind.
Now, children born to U.S. service members and government employees, such as those born in U.S. military hospitals or diplomatic facilities, will not be considered as residing in the U.S., changing the way that they potentially receive citizenship.
McCain, loathsome as he was in his later years, was covered pre- presidential directive (effective 2019).
Maybe he'll convert to Islam so he can be King of England.
not according to the XVI Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
No. Mama was not inside CONUS at time of birth!!
Birther thread. Oh goody.
The 16th Amendment was for income tax. You were perhaps thinking of the 14th?
