George Washington’s parents weren’t US citizens, either.
Irrelevant and you know it.
That said, would George Washington want a Duke born in the 19th century to run for POTUS?
Btw, for those that don’t know - a Duke outranks Earl, Baron, Viscount and Marquess on the chain of nobility.
The constitution specifically grandfathers in everyone who was a citizen (of any type) when the constitution was enacted:
No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution
Funny how they differentiated between every type of citizen AND a natural born citizen.
“George Washingtonâs parents werenât US citizens, either.”
Duh! Thats why the Constituion says words to the effect that only a natural born citizen or a citizen at the time of the signing of the Constitution can be President. They grandfathered themselves in.
After that it was supposed to be natural born meaning born in the US of two US citizen parents.
You must have missed the part that says a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution.
No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Have you ever read Article II of the Constitution?
Grandfather Clause.
