These people hung up on NBCness have no clue of the Constitution, the 14th Amendment, over 50 court cases and SCOTUS decisions, and numerous presidents duly elected despite the NBC screechings.

If Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai wants to run for president, let him. The people will decide. And no courts in this country will disallow him.

What a dumb question that is one of the first ones put forward by those opposing the true meaning of the “natural born Citizen” term, i.e., a person born in the country to two U.S. Citizen parents (born or naturalized citizens) when the child was born. A child born with sole allegiance to only the USA. The Constitution is not provided with a glossary. To learn what the original intent meaning and understanding of the words used in it one must look elsewhere as was stated in the U.S. Supreme Court case decision of Minor v Happersett (1875).

"The constitution does not expressly define “natural born” nor has the Supreme Court ever ruled precisely upon its meaning. One can be a citizen while not being a "natural born" citizen if, for example, that person gained citizenship through the process of naturalization."

-Cornell Law School

Trick question, as you well know. It was most recently decided during McCain's Presidential candidacy. The consensus was he was born of US citizen parents (plural), regardless of of location. So it's really a two-legged stool, isn't it?

I can’t quote the section at the moment, but I’m pretty sure that nowhere on even Kamala’s Venn diagram does it overlap, “Born in Bombay.”

Now, if he were to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Obama was born in Kenya, thus setting a present, I would at least give him a cheer for trying hard.

NBC was based up: The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law (1758)

Since it well laid out there, the founding fathers saw no reason to reiterate what was already documented.

It's right next to the place where they define "Arms."

Here you go:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
