Of course no one is talking yet about Bernie’s eligibility, having been born on Mars. That’s an issue yet to come.
...and there goes a fresh newly brewed cup of coffee all over the computer and screen and desk...

Oh man, if these threads are what the next five years are going to look like at FreeRepublic, I may have to lose my password. Haha.
Trump’s mother was naturalized before he was born.
Natural Born Citizenship means citizen parents and born on US soil.
Yes she is......
"Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship."
Even here on the most conservative website there are plenty of people who do not want the Constitution upheld if it excludes their favorite ineligible.
Even here on the most conservative website I get people arguing that Anwar al -Awlaki’s kids, born in Yemen to one citizen parent, are natural born citizens eligible to be President.
If Ted is, they are.
The founders used the strictest standard of citizenship they could find, natural born citizen, born here of citizen parents, naturally a citizen because there could be no alternative.
Solely an American with ONE nationality, ONE allegiance, ONE loyalty.
Obama is not one.
Neither are any of the popular children of foreign nationals as they were born with split citizenship, the very thing the founders were excluding with the natural born citizen requirement.
Haley totally empowered this. I have nothing but complete and unmittigated contempt for her.

100% agree.
That one is proudly ignorant.
