what about ambassadors kids, military overseas?

When I was in school on a military base we were told those of us born overseas were not Constitutionally qualified to be President.

It would be nice to have this legally defined.

BTW, if children of diplomats born abroad meet the NBC qualifications, Iranian born Valerie Jarrett would then be qualified, wouldn't she?

There was a 1790 law that explicitly granted NBC status to children of diplomats born abroad.

It was repealed in 1795.

you sound like and expert in this area as i am not. As for Jarrett, i guess thatwould be right, horribly contemplated. but if the ruling is be born of two american parents, and on American soil, so be it. I am not a Cruz supporter but i dont doubt his loyalty to the U.S.

“When I was in school on a military base we were told those of us born overseas were not Constitutionally qualified to be President.”

Concur. Same experience and instruction.
