Yes, she is by the people that matter, which isn’t you.
This is a useless distraction, as she will never even be a top tier RINO.
By the way, I'm the same about anchor babies. Even if they're born here that doesn't make them U.S. citizens (if their parents weren't U.S. citizens).
I don’t care for Nikki Haley, but why wasn’t this type of scrutiny given to Barack Hussein Obama ?
Obama’s resume’, and background, have more holes in it than a food strainer.
Neither of my grandmothers ever became citizens....nor did they ever speak English.
The law applies only to Republicans, not Democrats...............
What a stupid article. If you can’t be a citizen unless your parents are citizens already, I guess no one is a citizen, unless maybe all your ancestors lived here when the Constitution was adopted.
This takes me back to 2009.
Haley isn’t going to be a top-tier GOP presidential primary candidate in 2024, let it go.
Too bad,so sad......
Hope they can make it stick.
President Theodore Roosevelt said that P. A. LeLong was eligible to be President even though he did not have two citizen parents.
1) She hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hades of getting a nomination.
2) The Constitution does not define the term “natural born citizen” and the Supreme Court hasn’t either. Current legal interpretation is that it simply refers to someone who is a citizen at birth and does not need naturalization.
So, the whole discussion is a boring repeat of old stuff.
Good post; the article is correct. Do not confuse “citizen” with “natural born citizen” . President is the only office with this requirement.
But Kenyan Obama was?
Or are they'll still busy trying to remove Obama from office?
Notice that this question is asked only about Republicans. It will be brought up again the moment Ted Cruz announces.
When it’s about obammy, every member of the leftist media is sworn to never ask the question.
Blah, blah, blah....
I do not know why people get so hung up on the NBC issue. Not even our founding fathers who wrote the Constitution clearly understood what they were thinking they wanted to do. So an Amendment was necessary. (14th)
And does anyone know how many challenges there were to BHO’s candidacy? 30? 40? More?
The answer is more. Over 50. And not one single case prevailed.
Whether it be Obama, McCain, Cruz, Kamala, Haley or whoever....
If you are an American citizen - you can be president.
And this goes without saying that she'd get trounced just as solidly as Lyn' Ted and Little Marco. Her candidacy is simply DOA.
I showed this to my BFF, Squeeky, and she just shook her head in dismay. Why is it, that your parents simply being in the country legally, when you are born here, is all that it takes to be “natural born”. Unless your parents are here as part of a diplomatic mission - why is that concept causes two-citizen parent Birthers to go all bonkers??? 14 years after Obama, and numerous court cases, and detailed analyis of Wong Kim Ark - and still the Birthers continue to birf???
I think that it is a form of insanity, or mental illness. Thank goodness none of these people are in charge of naval vessels, with guns and rockets and missiles and torpedoes and stuff! Think of the damage such a kook could do! Oh wait. . . EEEEEKKK! Duck and cover!
There is not, and there never has been, a requirement or understanding that a person born in the United States to noncitizen parents is not “natural born”.
Both of my grandfathers were born in the US to non-citizen parents. On their WWI draft cards, there were three and only three options for the draft board to designate citizen status “natural born”, “Naturalized”, and “alien” - both of them were designated “natural born” by draft boards in Brooklyn NY and Meriden CT.
And consider the absurd result were this wrong. Neither were naturalized. Therefore, my father, born to aliens and not himself naturalized, would not have received his US Navy commission in 1941. I would have been born to aliens in 1950 (my grandmothers were also born in the US to noncitizens and my mother was never naturalized), and since I have never been naturalized and don’t have a green card, I shouldn’t be working and shouldn’t have a US passport.
The whole thing is just absurd.
This was the common understanding in 1917, and it was the common understanding in 2007 90 years later.
This never would have surfaced without the (understandable) wish to deny Obama the Presidency.
Bringing it up over the ridiculous Nimrata Randhawa Haley, who has zero chance of national office, is just a waste of time.
NBC = NoBody Cares
Certainly nobody with the title judge/justice.
But that doesn’t stop the NBC knitting circle from gathering every 4 years.
