“Children of foreign nationals are NOT natural born citizens.”


I don’t believe that.

That means that I grew up with MANY people who could not be president.

Born in Boston,1932,and many of us had parents who had not yet become citizens. They were mostly Irish and Italians and eventually became citizens.

It was meant to be an exclusionary term.
Naturally a US citizen as one could not be anything else if born here to US citizen parents.
Foreign parent(s) or birth brings foreign citizenship(s), making one not solely an American.
Omar Mateen would not be a natural born citizen any more than Rubio, Cruz, Haley or Jindal.
