Some say that to be a natural born citizen, that both of your parents must have been American citizens at the time of your birth.

So the fact that he was born in Cincinnati is irrelevant to to those who believe that. They are questioning the immigration status of his parents.

I do not know the immigration status of his parents.

Unfortunately for people with this line of thinking, the Constitution doesn’t have an immigrant parent section that disqualifies Ramaswamy.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

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.

“It looks pretty clear to me from a Constitutional perspective that Ramaswamy meets these requirements.”

That ship has sailed.
