For those born here today, yep.
Well, the gentleman facing the camera, for one.
“Well, the gentleman facing the camera, for one.”
Oh, I was wondering what The Constitution really looked like. So you’re saying it looks just like a guy in a robe with his hand up..
“For those born here today, yep. “
Therein lies the rub. You think ‘today’ is different from when the Constitution was signed.
“Take it up with the courts. Until they say otherwise,”
Oh, in your world, the courts trump the Constitution. Nice.
The facts:
Children whom parents have legally immigrated to the U.S. receive their “citizenship “ though there parents and do not have to go though any “process”. If the child is born before the naturalization process is finished then the child is a Native born citizen( review Wong Kim Ark case) Naturalized by code. ( Native born naturalized citizen). If the child is born after there parents are U.S. citizens , then the child is a Natural born citizen. (Eng case,Supreme Court).
If a child is born on American soil to “one” parent who is a citizen then that child has only partial allegiance to the U.S and is a Native born citizen. Since Native born citizens have citizenship by code, it is not necessary to go though the same immigration process as “immigrants”
On obama’s “fight the smears website” obama states that had duel citizenship(partial allegiance) at birth and is a Native born citizen.
This disqualifies obama from ever being eligible to be President.
But since Article 2 of the Constitution was not enforced for obama. Arnold would have good ground to contest it and run for PResident.
” I, for one, know that native born citizens can be president.”
Yes, if their parents were citizens making them also Natural Born Citizens.
You can be Native born and not Natural Born.
Natural Born Citizens are not born of foreiners.
