OK- We disagree.

I believe that the founders cared enormously about whether a presidential candidates’ parents had foreign citizenship. I also believe that the SCOTUS will see a need to define clearly the meaning and intent of eligibility, as disputed, and will allow a review.

Allegiance of the parents most certainly mattered since they were responsible for the child.

What if two anti-American citizens from another country wanted to hatch a master plan to take over the USA.

By the logic used by some posters, these two anti-Americans could:

1. Plan a trip to America and make sure the woman gave birth on US soil.

2. Take said child out of the US and raise said child in an anti-American way.

3. Make sure said child is back in the US by age 21 so he/she can meet the 14 year residency requirement when he/she turns 35.

This person could then be eligible to serve as our President.
