(Oct. 22, 2023) — Vivek Ramaswamy Admits in NBC News Interview His Parents Were Not U.S. Citizens When He Was Born. This was deduced and suspected previously but he has finally admitted it.

Vivek Ramaswamy admitted during live interview in Sep 2023 on NBC News that neither of his parents when he was born were citizens of the USA. Also, he admitted that although his mother later became a U.S. citizen his father never did. Watch the interview starting at about 26:08 into the full interview: https://youtu.be/toiiWWFsWOw?si=EMOuYOGT93CmiKP or see the relevant four minute excerpt of the interview at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM4UpgZ6sQA.

Vivek Ramaswamy is thus NOT a “natural born Citizen” of the United States. To be a “natural born Citizen” of the United States one must be at least a second generation Citizen, i.e., a person born in the USA to parents who were both U.S. Citizens when their child is born in the USA. Vivek’s mother became a U.S. Citizen several years after he was born. Vivek’s father has never become a U.S. Citizen. ... continue reading at: https://www.thepostemail.com/2023/10/22/vivek-ramaswamy-admits-in-nbc-news-interview-his-parents-were-not-u-s-citizens-when-he-was-born/

Both parents must be American citizens at the time of the child’s birth for the child to be eligible to be POTUS...

Here we go again...

Will this crap never end?

Another deeply intellectual take is given in the McCain birther case filing in Robinson v. Bowen et al, CAND (28 Aug 2008) Doc 27, page 4, footnote 2:

According to the plaintiff, Ambassador Keyes believes that any citizen of the United States born through natural procreative means (but not one born by caesarean section) is a “natural-born citizen” eligible to hold the Office of President.

The 35 years of age requirement in Article II, section one, clause 5 was ratified in an era when the average life expectancy was around 35 years or so.

Would you disregard that provision absent a constitutional amendment too???

The constitution was never intended to be a menu. Every one of it’s requirements are essential.

Except that the definition of natural born citizen is not spelled out as explicitly as the age requirement in the Constitution.

“I’d trust some foreign-born legal immigrants more than I trust some American-born citizens whose ancestors came over on the Mayflower.”

Excuse me?! 😉

But you’ve got a point. I trust Dinesh D’Souza more than I trust any Bush. (But we still should honor and follow the Constitution when it comes to POTUS.)

“I would take it a step further and prohibit anyone with dual citizenship from holding public office.”

Yes! And I’d take it even one step farther and prohibit dual citizenship ... period. A man cannot serve two masters. Pick one and be loyal.

You seem to be missing something important. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. You could call him an anchor baby. But you can’t say he is not a citizen. Unless you just like being wrong. Here is why.

A natural born citizen typically refers to two common scenarios:

1. Birthright Citizenship:
- If you are born within the territory of a country, you are often automatically granted citizenship of that country, regardless of the nationality of your parents. This is known as birthright citizenship or jus soli (right of the soil).

2. Citizenship by Descent:
- If you are born outside the country but one or both of your parents are citizens of that country, you may be granted citizenship based on your parental lineage. This is known as citizenship by descent or jus sanguinis (right of blood).

The exact rules and processes can vary significantly from country to country, so it’s essential to check the specific laws and regulations of the respective country to understand the requirements and procedures for obtaining citizenship.

In the United States, a natural born citizen is generally understood to mean someone who was born in the U.S. or born abroad to U.S. citizen parents under certain conditions. Other countries might have different definitions or additional categories for natural born citizenship.

“Vivek Ramaswamy is NOT constitutionally eligible for the office he seeks! “

Kind of gave himself away when he started attacking Trump.

No foreign spice allowed in the person of POTUS.

Plain vanilla U.S. Americans only. Most of us (70 percent or so?) are in this category, so is it too much to ask?

There’s a difference between Citizen and Natural Born Citizen.

Citizen includes all Foreign Spice Citizens whereas NBC does not.

By the way—if you have to point to positive law, including, for example, the 14th Amendment, to prove your membership in the U.S. polity, you’re a Naturalized (i.e., Foreign Spice) Citizen.

NBCs are what’s left over after all Positive Law Citizens are filtered out. In the long history of the United States, hey never had to point to positive law to prove their membership in the U.S. polity.

We have had two former Presidents (Chester Arthur and Barack Obama) and a current Vice President (Kamala Harris) who had one or both parents not U.S. citizens at the time of their birth. The Framers of the Constitution wanted a President with no ties to a foreign country. But like so much of the Constitution, e.g., gun control, Federal intervention beyond the Tenth Amendment limits, the natural born citizen requirement is ignored.

Vivek Ramaswamy may get a Cabinet position if Trump wins, as he has been the most MAGA like candidate. I don't know if we can trust him given his pharma background, but four years ago, I wrote Elon Musk off as just another leftist oligarch.

The constitution very clearly set a high standard for becoming President of the United States. Be born in country of two citizen parents. Anything else as a lesser standard, which is clearly barred by the constitution, and it clearly barred Obama from ever being president.
