“You have to take your like of a candidate out of the equation and so few will do that right now.”
I’m actually not fully decided who I’m going to support.
“Try it this way. Do you want an Arab Prince who is a direct descendant of THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD to be eligible to run for POTUS.
What about a Duke from England? Should he be able to run?”
I’m afraid I don’t see your point. Neither of those are descended of American parents. What I’m saying is that if one or both of your parents are American citizens, you really should be a natural born citizen, regardless of where you were born. A foreign born immigrant should NOT be allowed to be president, but someone descended of American parents (or parent) should be allowed. I think that’s only fair and since the Constitution says ‘natural born citizen’ rather than ‘you MUST be born in the United States’, this should be in effect.
You aren’t up to speed.
An Arab Prince who has studied at Harvard and completed part of his residency requirement has a woman who is/was an American citizen as his mother. Oh ,and he is a direct descendant of the Prophet.
Winston Churchill, who almost became Duke of Marlborough and was offered Duke of London, has an American Mother.
I don’t know how people think that James Madison would want Duke of Marlborough as President
There is a caveat with the Arab Prince. His mother MAY have given up her citizenship before his birth. But just pretend for the sake of argument that she did not. And she may not have done it in a FORMAL way.
