Clause 5 Qualifications:
[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.]
As you see, the only time a Citizen could be president was at the time of the adoption of the Constitution until a first generation natural born Citizen was eligible. Martin Van Buren was the first natural born Citizen president.
The way I look at it could he be any worse than the “natural born pig” in the WH?
Seems there’s so many candidates that are not eligible yet end up running without any opposition.
Not this *again meme.
That ship sailed in 08 get over it
If he was born within the United States to parents legally within the United States at the time of his birth, he is a natural born citizen. Period. That is what the phrase meant at the time it was written, and has been adjudicated multiple times.
That appears to be the case with him, therefore, he is a natural born citizen. It is absolutely false to state otherwise. This twitter poster is ignorant at best and could not possibly have done any significant research into the subject - and of course neither did you before posting.
What are you smoking? You NBC fan-bois are totally ignorant of the Constitution, The 14th Amendment, numerous Supreme Court decisions and dozens of lower court decisions.
And the funny thing is? When pressed about the severity of an NBC you state the parents must also be NBC’s.
So that leaves Trump where? That’s right. Using your delusional standard - Trump himself is not eligible.
I wish once and for all you people would STFU and STFD.
Wow , we see almost 200 replies on this threat dealing with natural born citizenship.
This is a Hot Topic.
It’s interesting to see people here present their evidence, as to why certain people are , or are not , natural born citizens.
He was born in Cincinnati. He’s more eligible than Canadian Ted Cruz and the Kenyan Obama combined.
Wow. The Republican establishment and DeSantis are really worried about Ramaswamy if they have to claim he’s ineligible to run.
Nonsense.
Wrong. The SCOTUS has ruled he is a natural born citizen. You can repeat this until you are blue in the face. If he’s ever elected he will rightfully be inaugurated as president.
Someone in Hawaii will make him a fake birth certificate and he’ll be as good as gold. Just like the Kenyan
How does the Constitution define “natural born citizen??”
Stop with the stupid birtherism crap, just a bunch of trumptard losers that never shut up, u suck
OMG, please change your name to Nacho Man, because your legal acumen is about that of a container of Taco Bell Cheese Nachos.
The 14th Amendment is the embodiment of the law on natural born citizenship. Read Wong Kim Ark.
Who really knows, Obama, Kamala, Ted Cruz, Nicky Haley?
The fact that Obama‘s mom is a US citizen, and he was based on the commonly accepted birth certificate, born in Hawaii, he is, therefore, a US citizen, and no one would challenge his natural born status regardless of his father. I think the key to this was that he was a Democrat. Now, if we get a republican, take Cruz, for example, born in Canada, not even in the US. Even he said he was not eligible before he decided to run after all. Take are several Indian anchor babies, born in the US yes, but their parents were not citizens. They are not natural born citizens. I think this will be challenged by Democrats when a Republican comes up. And I will sure hate to see Republicans defend these Indian anchor babies as natural born citizens.
Trevor Sutcliffe is an inbred, mouth-breathing, microcephalic who doesn’t understand the difference between what is law and what is in accordance with the US Constitution.
He was born in Ohio. He’s a natural born citizen. It doesn’t matter if your parents are from Neptune, if you’re born here it counts. Only exceptions are children born to foreign diplomats or heads of state.
