“Whoever said it was?”
the Constitution and the founders. as has been stated, time and again, the intention by the founders was to insure any person running for the office of the president would not have split allegiances by parental birth. this is the reason for the specific language, unlike the requirement to be a congressman.
the anti-birthers/anti-Constitutionalists constantly repeat their claim that any anchor baby could be president.
thanks for stopping by

Wait, wait, wait. You’re involved in a phantom debate. I was responding to the specific quote: “being a citizen is not enough to be qualified for the office.” The point of asking “Whoever said it was” was to highlight how no one disagrees with you point.
If being a citizen were enough, naturalized citizens would be eligible. Since no one thinks they are, what were you possibly getting at?
“the anti-birthers/anti-Constitutionalists constantly repeat their claim that any anchor baby could be president.”
Nonsense. Babies can’t be president. “Attained to the Age of thirty-five Years,” the Constitution requires.
