You could ask Barack Obama that question.
Logically, if the USA was fully States led the Federal government would be constructed like the EU parliament but with far more limits on its lawmaking authority; and its president would have no executive authority at all.
Under those conditions the birth nationality of the president would be irrelevant so long as he or she is an American citizen.
Boris Johnson to become president?!?
Anyone can be president. The Dems would vote for an MS13 member over Trump.
Characteristically, becoming the leader of a foreign country would require relinquishment of American citizenship. Even if that is not formally required by the foreign country, taking an oath of office and loyalty to become a foreign leader or other foreign public official is usually considered to be an act that is inconsistent with holding American citizenship and to work as an automatic rejection of it.
We’re no longer a republic.
Deep State can install whoever the hell it wants while that’s the case.
There are ways that one can lose their US citizenship...but it's not easy thanks to a number of court rulings in recent years. IIRC one of them is when a US citizen takes a job as an official of a foreign government.
From memory...
The Constitution has a permanent residency requirement for a President and Vice President.
Seventeen years - from memory.
Birth etc Constitution does not matter any more - When the time is right, the Dems will run Xi Jinping.
Natural Born = BOTH parents are citizens AND the individual born on home soil. Obama does not meet that standard.
Anything goes now since The Constitution is no longer being observed.
Remember that “We are the World” thingy?
Winston Churchill could have been POTUS.....................
Well I asked CNN and the WAPO. It all depends:
The US Constitution CLEARLY PROHIBITS a US natural born citizen who had been a former Canadian PM to become the US President, if such person was a conservative, moderate, or even liberal (by standards of ten years ago).
The US Constitution does allow it for former Canadian PMs who are socialists, communists, gender-confused, pedophiles, “minorities”, etc., based on the Fourteenth Amendment.
Barak Hussein. After him anyone in the world is qualified to be President of the United States of America. That item in the Constitution has not been repealed but annulled.
“due to dual loyalties”
“Dual loyalties” was the REASON for Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, but in and of itself does not disqualify anyone.
Not born on U.S. soil to TWO U.S. citizen parents DOES!
Someone can have dual loyalties for having gone to a foreign university or by marrying a foreign bride, but that does not make them ineligible to the presidency.
Born on U.S. soil to TWO U.S. citizen parents. THAT is the standard. “natural born citizen”.
NOT born in Kenya, NOT born in Panama, NOT born in Canada, Not born in a FOREIGN embassy.
ParentS MUST BE U.S. citizens when you are born. No do overs. Becoming a citizen later is too late.
That is why all of Donald Trump’s children (except Tiffany) are NOT eligible, NOT natural born citizens.
But hey, Obama did it, so now anyone can be president.
Just ANOTHER reason that our country is DOOMED.
