Marla Maples, Donald Trump’s ex-wife, revealed in a rare interview that she’s willing to help the former president’s 2024 campaign — and is even “open” to being his vice president. “I’m ready. I am available if needed and I’m not sitting back anymore,” Maples, who just turned 60, told The Evening Standard in her first interview in eight years.
“I want to step out more, share more and not be afraid of positive or negative outcomes that come from speaking out,” she added.
Maples, who shares daughter Tiffany Trump with the former commander-in-chief, said her willingness to help Trump’s second White House bid has not been affected by her ex-husband’s legal troubles.

Tiffany still has a few years to meet the 45 year old requirement but yes, she’s the only one with mama being a US at the time of their birth.
No, Barron Trump was born March 20th, 2006, and she became a citizen on July 28th, 2006. He is also a dual citizen of Slovenia.
You'll have to bring the argument before the Supreme Court. Otherwise, you have no case.
As long as you're born in America, you're a naturally born citizen.
I think the argument is stronger for the military draft = involuntary servitude. But like I said, someone will have to bring it to the Supreme Court. It is moot anyway because the U.S. government refuses to do a military draft (although that may change soon).
Correct, Tiffany is the ONLY Trump child eligible to be president.
You said “naturally” born. The constitutional term is “natural” born.
So you clearly don’t know what you are talking about.
Having previously done an in depth study of NBC, I have learned that the framers and founders knew and meant “natural born citizen” to mean “born on US soil to TWO citizen parentS” as Vattell wrote in his book.
This is indisputable.
It's not up to me to make a ruling on this issue. That belongs to the SCOTUS.

Like I said, take it up to the SCOTUS, if your case is that strong.
Too much lipstick an' er too much rouge
Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused
An' I like my women just a little on the trashy side
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Pretty clear to me that all of Trump's children are eligible to be president.
CORRECT
I think you mean 35 year old requirement
THANK YOU.
THIS SIMPLE part of the CONSTITUTION SEEMS TO BAFFLE MANY PERSONS.
Article 2
Section 1
Clause 5.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN
CONTACT JAY GALT here in FR.
HE HAS A LONG EXPLANATION of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN & HOW/WHY IT CAME ABOUT
ONLY TIFFANY IS ELIGIBLE.
Huh... for some reason, I thought she was a citizen when Barron was born.
However, with Obama, citizenship is only needed by 1 parent.
Use the left’s playbook against them.
Many Freepers say one parent has to be a citizen, but I have never been able to determine the Constitution actually says that.
It worked for Obama... so use the left’s own ‘rules’ against them.
Something about being hoisted on their own petard...

In theory, this seems to indicate two citizen parents, but we know that Obama was NOT born of two US citizens, so that seems to make it just one of the parents as a US citizen.
The Framers appear to have adopted the requirement that citizens be natural born citizens to ensure that the President’s loyalties would lie strictly with the United States. By barring naturalized citizens from the presidency, the requirement of being a natural born citizen, as Justice Story explained, protects the United States from ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interposes a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections, which have inflicted the most serious evils upon the elected monarchies of Europe.6 Article II, however, provided an exception for foreign-born persons who had immigrated to the colonies prior to the adoption of the Constitution.7 Justice Story explained that this was done out of respect to those distinguished revolutionary patriots, who were born in a foreign land, and yet had entitled themselves to high honors in their adopted country.8
While the Constitution does not define natural born Citizen, commentators have opined that the Framers would have understood the term to mean someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time.9 British statutes from 1709 and 1731 expressly described children of British subjects who were born outside of Great Britain as natural born citizens and provided that they enjoyed the same rights to inheritance as children born in Great Britain.10 In addition, in the Naturalization Act of 1790, the First Congress provided that children of citizens of the United States, that may be born beyond the sea, . . . shall be considered as natural born citizens . . . .11 Consequently, under the principle that British common law and enactments of the First Congress are two particularly useful sources in understanding constitutional terms,12 it would appear likely that the Framers would have understood natural born citizen to encompass the children of United States citizens born overseas.13 Such an interpretation is further supported by the presidential candidacies of Senator John McCain of Arizona, who was born in the Panama Canal Zone; Governor George Romney of Michigan, who was born in Mexico, and Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who was born in Arizona before it became a state.14
