But both weren’t born in the U.S. This is a loser of an argument. It’s was shot down with Obama and it’ll be the same, but any party that wants to take it to court and lose, they certainly have the right to do so.
> But both werent born in the U.S.
So what?
“But both werent born in the U.S.”
Both parents have to be U.S. citizens at the time of the child’s birth in the jurisdiction of the Article III courts of the United States to qualify as a natural born citizen of the United States. There is no requirement and can never possibly be a requirement for the parents and their parents to be natural born citizens themselves in an unbroken string back into time. At some point back in time there had to be one or both parents who were naturalized as citizens in order to be citizens when the child was born. Trump’s parents wee both U.S. citizens when he was born, and the fact his mother was a naturalized citizen is not relevant to that determination of Donald Trump being a natural born citizen.
Whatever.
Nobody ever said they need to be, just US citizens.
Before you, no one has ever said anything about the parents having to be born in the US.
