Both parents must be American citizens at the time of the child’s birth for the child to be eligible to be POTUS...
Nikki Haley cant be POTUS either ...
Vivek is a stooge for Soros by his own admission.
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.
His parents had green cards. He is a citizen.
I like him, but man he is crowding Obama’s schtick.
Nikki Haley cant be POTUS either ...
She knows she is ineligible. She is only in the race to shakedown financial donors to her campaign.
Complete fraud...
Add Bobby Jindal to the club
At least we should have US born criminals in our gov’t....

See Bill Clinton, Joe Biden.
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.
Neither can the oldest three Trump children.
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.
People claiming someone born in the US and their parents aren’t citizens conducted their studies of the law that prestigious university know as Walmart.
“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.
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.
