Many of the arguments I have seen claiming only ‘jus soli’ is necessary to be eligible for POTUSA are referenced to the words in the Constitution that require 14 years of residency in the USA. This clipped use of words is misleading, intentional or not,. A close and accurate reading of the requirement for POTUSA is very clearly structured as I would expect the learned Founders intended. The first and primary requirement is that the POTUSA be a ‘natural born citizen. We can argue and debate the substance of such. Then the requirement follows up by stating this ‘natural born person’ must be 35 years of age. Then to restrict eligibility further the Founders added a requirement that such a person eligible by the first two requirements must also be a person who has had 14 years of residence in the USA. I believe the Founders intentionally structured the requirement for POTUSA to eliminate time of residency as a lone requirement and yet preserve their concern for having a substantial interest for the Nation.
That is a good point. The positions in the Article of each requirement can be regarded as in order of importance.
