If a person is born on foreign soil to U. S. Citizen parents, I consider the person a natural born U. S. Citizen. If we’re talking a short vacation trip, or perhaps someone serving overseas in some capacity, I don’t think the kid should be denied the natural born status. I will say that if this service and absense from U. S. soil is extended, then it does become quite problematic for me.
In a child’s formative years, they must be on U. S. soil, soaking up a devotion to our nation. If they are living in France for an extended period of their life, how do they have more loyalty to the U. S. than France?
Obama clearly doesn’t have an ounce of loyalty to the United States. He loathes it, admittedly or not. He is the exact model of what we try to avoid with the ‘Natural Born’ clause. At least in my opinion he is.
The strange thing you have going on here is this. Even if Obama was born on U. S. Soil, folks couldn’t convince me that Maggie Thatcher wouldn’t have made us a better president than him, her having been born in England and him here. (if it’s ever proven he was)
Thank you very much for your reply..this will be very interesting.
