I have the official source here, and it says he’s eligible, but would have to do a few things.
“Because Archie was born to a U.S. citizen, he is considered a “natural born citizen” and could run for the country’s highest office — but he’d need to jump through some hoops. Archie would have to go through a naturalization proceeding and need special permission from Congress.” PEOPLE Magazine, February 2021
LOL that’s how the discussion started. Unfortunately my adult kids sometimes rely on news from those types of sources.
If Archie is considered a natural-born citizen then he doesn't need naturalization or an act of Congress. Regardless of what that well-known Constitutional reference, People Magazine, thinks.
PEOPLE magazine is an authoritative source....../s
Which means he’s not really a natural born citizen.
“Archie would have to go through a naturalization proceeding and need special permission from Congress.”
If he has to go through a naturalization proceeding or need special permission from Congress, then he isn’t a natural born citizen.
I guess the idea of a natural born citizen having to go through a "naturalization" process is not enough cognitive dissonance for them to see what is wrong with the idea.
