It is not about you, Miss Jones. It is about the U.S. Constitution with the proscription of anyone with even the remote possibility of divided allegiance to our nation.
If there is even the slightest chance that a parent or others influenced a non-natural born child they must be considered ineligible.
No exception can be made. That could set a precedent to allow a candidate in the future to be elected that clearly does have a divided allegiance. Blame James Madison but that is our reality.
You let this one slip and the next thing you know The Arnold will be running for President. And after gay marriage, can we expect polygamy?
Regarding the generally unpopular opinions of Jedi Jones, no point anyone wasting more time trying to convince him. Time better spent getting on Twitter and Facebook to warn the world about these potentially brown shirt tactics getting approved by the candidate, or promoted by the candidate.
Cruz is a “natural-born” citizen so what you say is irrelevant. Natural-born subjects in Britain included ones born to British parents outside of the country. It’s also wrong and over-the-top about “allegiance.”
The Constitution isn’t so paranoid about foreign influence. You only have to live in the U.S. 14 years to run for president. You can live somewhere else for 50 years and come back and run for president. So, no, the Constitution set out a few standards, but there isn’t some perfect, consistent message behind them. That’s just your projection. It’s not in the text or the context. If it was, you would have to live in the U.S. a lot longer than 14 years to be eligible.
