Jamaican law states that since her father was a Jamaican citizen at the time of her birth, she is automatically a Jamaican citizen.

Can you say dual citizenship. That should disqualifier her from being President or VP.

“Dual Citizenship” (in and of itself) DOESN’T MATTER!

Usually (maybe always) so called “Dual Citizenship” is granted to a U.S. citizen by a FOREIGN country because of the heritage of the parents. Usually until the age of maturity.

Does the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA allow foreign countries to affect the citizenship of American citizens?

OF COURSE NOT! Foreign countries can grant anyone they want citizenship to their counties. We can’t stop that or do we (U.S. government) care.

Dual citizenship is a red herring! It doesn’t matter!

What MATTERS is the likely underlying issue of the parents citizenship.

Ted Cruz wasn’t ineligible because he had Canadian AND U.S. citizenship (Dual citizenship). It was because HE WAS BORN IN CANADA! (to a father who was NOT a U.S. citizen and a mother whose U.S. citizenship is in question).

Ted Cruz fails on BOTH counts jus soli AND jus sanguinis
He’s a Cubanadian.

John McCain wasn’t a natural born citizen, PERIOD!

HE WASN’T BORN ON U.S. SOIL! (like Ted Cruz) It doesn’t matter that he was born in the “Panama Canal Zone” (actually he WASN’T. He was born in Colon Panama NOT part of the Panama Canal Zone treaty) In ANY case, the Panama Canal Zone was NEVER a U.S. territory.

The fact that his parents were U.S. citizens and a law that was passed only applied to whether those children would be “native” born citizens or “naturalized” citizens. A distinction without much difference. NOT “natural born” status.
