You are the one opening it up to anchor babies of illegal aliens with no allegiance to this country.

The founders wanted a natural born citizen, born here of citizen parents, no other citizenship possible, no other allegiances.

I am not sure birth here is required for NBC. Ambassadors, military, or even a businessman who lives abroad for a time, should be able to have a child who can grow up to be President. It would be a big penalty for people who have need to be abroad.

Whether NBC requires both parents be citizens is the more pressing issue. When one is not a citizen, it creates dual loyalties, and that is the problem that I believe the founders were trying to avoid. A President must have been born with only one allegiance. That, to me is the interpretation that makes the most sense, but it is still an open question as a legal matter, and when the SC gets its hand on the issue, if it ever does, they are likely to muck it up.

Just like gays are merely defacing the corpse of marriage that no-fault divorce murdered, your harping false and absurd definition is meaningless, toothless and hilarious to a rampant SCOTUS that is already gleefully drawing and quartering the Constitution. Trump’s precious judicial giant sister is NEVER going to join that bloody escapade becuase he’ll NEVER have the power to anoint her excellency.
