The requirements for the presidency are:
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. “
natural born citizen
35 years of age
14 years a US resident.
The last requirement is irreconcilable with some definitions of natural born citizen.
It doesn’t specify which 14 years have to be resident and which 21 years can be non-resident.
A woman gives birth 1 second before her plane leaves US air space. She is a US citizen and her husband is a US citizen.
The Child lives his next 20 years 11 months in Iran training as a mullah.
He returns to the US and acquires 14 years and 1 month of residency.
On the other hand, a person could be born overseas of one US parent and immediately fly with his parents to the US and live an entire qualifying period of 35 years in the US.
And not be eligible according to some to the presidency. Weird.
Your argument works just as well against any definition of ‘natural born citizen.’ Or even against any requirement for citizenship at all.
