If Trump decides to serve only one term you can be sure that Donald Jr. will bea followup Presidential candidate.

He was born in 1977 in NYC. His mother (Ivanka) was naturalized in 1988 so she wasn't a citizen then. So the question is, can someone with a US parent and a non-US parent who was born in the USA qualify as a 'Natural Born Citizen' for the Presidency?

Hmm.. any precedent.. maybe a recent President in similar circumstances..?

While we do need an amendment to the constitution clarifying the term Natural Born, and clarifying whether the child born here was legal, clearly we refer to an individual, and not their parents.

I do not know of some of our earlier Presidents, after the grandfathered date, had parents born in Europe or territories. That is a good question.

Historically, the citizenship of the mother was not relevant. I don;t think we have a political figure example of a native born, to a US citizen father and non-citizen mother. By the legal precedents, Donald Jr. meets the rigid (under the legal precedents, not under political practice) requirement, native born.

Ivanka is his sister; IVANA is Don Jr. mother!

Yes. The current bar is born in USA to one US parent.
Precedent set by Obama, AND prior Presidents.

Jr IS NBC.

No procident regarding presidents. However, he became a citizen the moment he was born (natural birth) because he is the son of a U.S. Citizen, and was physically born in the U.S. U.S. Code grants him citizenship naturally (from Latin: natus, born) because he was born here.
