“”Nonsense, she was a citizen of the United States from the moment she was born.””
I’m glad I kept reading as I was going to say the same thing. It doesn’t have to be confusing. Her father was Jamaican but she was not BORN in Jamaica so she’s not a Jamaican citizen.
She was born in the United States and IS A CITIZEN of the country she was born in!
I don’t know why the president’s team had to step in it all over again. The country doesn’t need the distraction.
That's the requirement for Reps and Senators.
"Citizen."
For President, the framers required a "natural born Citizen" post grandfather clause.
There would be zero (0) reason for a grandfather clause if the requirement were only "citizen."
The framers and founders were not idiots, they knew the distinction ...the people who love our Constitution in our time shouldn't be either.
“Her father was Jamaican but she was not BORN in Jamaica so shes not a Jamaican citizen.”
She might be a Jamaican citizen, that is a matter of Jamaican law. Her natural born status is not affected by other countries law.
She has dual citizenship because Jamaica recognizes children born to their citizens—no matter where they are born.
