I said they are citizens.
It has been granted them by Congress. And yes, they are a Commonwealth.
But they are not a state and HAVE REPEATEDLY REJECTED JOINING THE UNITED STATES AS A STATE.
Citizens, yes; natural born citizens, no. Puerto Ricans cannot serve as President or VP.
If they are citizens at birth, that seems to me they are natural born citizens.
And many Presidents and Vice-Presidents have been born in territories, the District of Columbia, and even in foreign countries (the children of US citizens are natural born citizens even if born in a foreign country).
8 USC § 1402
All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after April 11, 1899, and prior to January 13, 1941, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, residing on January 13, 1941, in Puerto Rico or other territory over which the United States exercises rights of sovereignty and not citizens of the United States under any other Act, are declared to be citizens of the United States as of January 13, 1941. All persons born in Puerto Rico on or after January 13, 1941, and subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, are citizens of the United States at birth.
Now you'll say but his parents may not themselves be NBC so he can't be NBC or some other nonsense, right?
Puerto Ricans are, as long as their parents are citizens at the time of their birth, “natural born citizens”. Sorry SatinDoll you are wrong.
