But some have still wondered if Trump can be considered a “natural born citizen†as the Constitution requires since his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, was born in Stornoway, Scotland, thus giving her British citizenship at her birth in 1912. Donald’s father, real-estate mogul Frederick Christ Trump, was an American by birth in New York City in 1905.
Columnist Ben Smith at Politico jokingly wrote, “Trump’s mother, it should be noted, was born in Scotland, which is not part of the United States. His plane is registered in the Bahamas, also a foreign country. This fact pattern – along with the wave of new questions surrounding what he claims is a birth certificate – raises serious doubts about his eligibility to serve as president of the United States.”
While the Constitution itself does not provide a definition of natural-born citizen, those challenging President Obama have asserted that it requires not only a birth having taken place on U.S. soil, but also that both parents of the child have to be U.S. citizens at the time of the child’s birth. Only Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was a U.S. citizen when Obama was born, while his father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., was a British subject, having been born in Kenya.
“Donald Trump is a natural born American citizen, above the age of 35 and a resident of the United States of America longer than 14 years,” declares Birthers.org. “He has provided sufficient documentation attesting to his place of birth, and upon research of his parents it is determined that they were both American citizens at the time of his birth. … There is no doubt that at his birth his natural allegiance for the United States of America was and still is unalienable. …

Why are you acting as the author of this confusion?
Trump’s mother was naturalized well before Donald was born. A website that formerly went after Obama’s lack of documentation has found a copy of her naturalization record and posted it. I saw it mentioned on Freep yesterday. If they could find it, you know full well Trump has it and is just waiting for some idiot to pull something so stupid. Hopefully Cruz is smart enough avoid the trap.
Oh and you’re not helping Cruz any. You’re just making his situation look even worse.

Census records would show if Trump’s mom was a citizen when he was born.
Cool. So Trump is a NBC for sure.
Trump’s mother was naturalized on March 10, 1942 as an American.
Trump was born in June, 1946.
Good point about Rubio.
He has no American parents, and is a 14th Amendment baby.
That is not NBC.
