It would be unConstitutional to prohibit a National Socialist, or a fascist, or a Communist from running for President in this country. The only requirements, that the person be a “natural-born” citizen, attained at least 35 years of age, and has resided in the US at least 14 years.
Apparently that “natural-born” clause has become pretty elastic, with some grave misunderstanding of just exactly what it means. Born on US soil? Born elsewhere of US citizen parent of parents? Born of non-citizen parents who have no intention of becoming citizens?
“Apparently that “natural-born” clause has become pretty elastic, with some grave misunderstanding of just exactly what it means.”
The Naturalization Act of 1790 defines “natural-born” precisely — children born of citizen parents (plural).
