Doesn't matter if he was born in the USA...Barry or Steve whatever his birth name was his father was here on a student visa from Kenya. So whether he was born in Canada, USA or Kenya, he doesn't qualify to be president.

And neither does Marco Rubio...2 citizen parents is the key...founders intent and court cases confirmed that. IF Rubio is truly a man who takes his oath to the constitution seriously...he needs to blow this out of the water.

I’m with you on this. We don’t need another presidential or vice-presidential candidate whose natural born citizenship is in question. Born of two U.S. citizen parents and born in the U.S.A. That’s it. Bright line.

Please cite the court case that requires someone to have two citizen parents in order to be eligible to be President or Vice-President. Thank you.

That’s all simply your opinion. There is no precedent, since SCOTUS hasn’t ruled, and the Consitution doesn’t define “natural born citizen”. IMHO SCOTUS would go with the simplest definition, that anyone born a citizen is a “natural born citizen”, if they ever even agreed to hear it. Unless there was some evidence that the person was not a citizen at birth, they likely would just decide to not hear it and allow him to assume office.

They also have to be born in one of the original 13 colonies, and their parents have to have been born in one of the 13.
