I’m a Cruz supporter, but that isn’t the best argument as those guys were accounted for in the wording of the Constitution.
However, none of them were ever voted on to be a nominee! All were nominated in smokey back-room meetings!!
21twelve, you are right about the exception for those who became citizens at the time US Const was adopted:
“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.”
Although the child of US Citizen is always a US Citizen at the time of his birth, I still say this is a STUPID, disingenuous argument that isn’t going anywhere.
It’s really a smokescreen to hide certain people’s blind loyalty to a particular candidate — in this case Trump.
There were PLENTY of legitimate reasons to attack Obama, yet this stupid birther argument was what so many people focused on. Which only made Obama seem like a victim...
