We read the Constitution. We question your ability to define “natural born citizen.”
I guess I didn’t learn anything from my conservative Constitutional Law professor in law school, or my U.S. History teacher in high school
Here’s what the 14th amendment says about who is a citizen: “All persons born or naturalized into the United States and subject to the juridiction thereof, are citizens of hte United States and other State in which they reside.”
Translation: If you are born in this country, you are automatically a citizen. That is, a “natural born citizen”. Capiche?
If that wasn’t the case, how could Jindal or Rubio even be considered for Vice President, since they would not be able to be President?
It is true that their parents were not “natural born citizens”. In fact, I don’t know if they were ever made citizens. That has no impact on Bobby or Marco are not natural born citizens.
So, again. What relevance does this have to anything? Are you assuming Bobby and Marco couldn’t be President? Or are they less than citizens who’s parents have been here longer?
How can a lawyer get “naturalized” and “natural born” mixed up? I doubt that I’ve ever been inside a law school, but I get that. Yes, they might be “citizens” but no, they are NOT natural born citizens. Sen. Rubio and Gov. Jindahl are ineligible because their parents were not US citizens at the time of their birth. We’ve been over and over and over this for four years.
‘Translation: If you are born in this country, you are automatically a citizen. That is, a “natural born citizen”. Capiche?’
WRONG!!
If you are born in this country, you are a US citizen, but you are not necessarily a natural born citizen.
All natural born citizens are US citizens,
but not all US citizens are natural born citizens.
If you are born in US to US citizen parentS, you are a nbc (of course, you are a US citizen too.) eligible to be the president or vp.
If you are just a US citizen but not a nbc you are not eligible to be the president or vp.
2-prong test for Natural born citizen - born in USA, to USA citizen parentS.
Anybody can be ‘naturalized’ in US to be a naturalized US citizen by following the naturalization procedure, but a naturalized US citizen is NOT eligible to be the president or vp
