Well she’s a good example of the controversy.
She’s an American citizen by birth, but there are questions about the citizenship status of her parents.
Some Freepers such as yourself, say that she is not eligible, because her parents were not American citizens at the time of her birth.
Other Freepers say that having been born an American citizen, she is eligible, regardless of her parents immigration status.
Who can say which group of Freepers are correct.
Adjectives mean something. The adjectives “natural born” before the term Citizen in the presidential eligibility clause means something natural that is created by the laws of nature and not by man-made laws. It is a term from Natural Law. It is not enough to be born an American citizen to be the President and Commander in Chief of our military, or the Vice President. To be constitutionally eligible for those high offices, the person must be an American “natural born Citizen” (nbC). The nbC term is all about minimizing the chance of foreign influence and divided allegiance at/by birth for the person who would be the Commander in Chief of our military once the founding generation was gone. The founding generation has a grandfather clause in the presidential eligibility clause (Article II Section 1 Clause 5) exempting them from the nbC term eligibility requirement because none of the founder were a “natural born Citizen” of the new nation when the Constitution was adopted. A “natural born Citizen” is a child of parents who were both U.S. citizens when their child was born in the country. Under those birth circumstances the child with born with sole allegiance to only the USA. An nbC is a person born with sole allegiance to one and only one country. A person born with dual Citizenship like Nikki Haley is not eligible.
Likewise Obama who was born a dual Citizen, British and U.S. is not eligible and he was a usurper in office, as is Kamala Harris. One must be born in the country to parents who are both Citizens of the country to avoid divided allegiance and multiple citizenship at birth. nbC is a national security issue. A person born with divided allegiances and dual national loyalty requirements at birth should not be the Commander in Chief of our military. That is what the founders and framers intended and were worried about in the future of our nation. Look at what Obama who was born with divided allegiance did to our country and is continuing to do via his leading from behind control of Biden and his administration. That is the WHY the founders and framers chose the “natural born Citizen” term and put it into our Constitution, the supreme law of our land. But both major political parties are ignoring the Constitution by putting forth constitutionally ineligible candidates. And our Constitution and nation is paying the price for the avarice for power of the major political parties, the Constitution be damned to them if it gets in the way of their political agenda.
