7 FAM 1130 Page 8 of 69
UNCLASSIFIED (U)
b. Section 1, Article II, of the Constitution states, in relevant part that “No Person except a natural born Citizen...shall be eligible for the Office of President.”
c. The Constitution does not define “natural born”. The “Act to establish an Uniform Rule of Naturalization”, enacted March 26, 1790, (1 Stat. 103,104) provided that, “...the children of citizens of the United States, that may be born ... out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States.”
d. This statute is no longer operative, however, and its formula is not included in modern nationality statutes. In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.
It was very clear. I was giving an opinion.
However, the FAM you’ve cited even says that the use of natural born in the 1790 law DOES SEEM to imply that a child born overseas to US parents is a natural born citizen for purposes of presidential qualifications.
Otherwise, it would not say “does not necessarily imply”. “Does not necessarily imply” means that the weight is on the side of “does imply.”
If it did NOT imply, then it would have said, “does not imply”.
So, the Blackstone law book DOES actually say that children born to overseas citizens ARE natural born citizens. This is in line with ancient law that says (postliminium) a person’s rights are not lost simply by being overseas.
You really have no leg to stand on rollingstone. It’s time to give it up.
By your interpretation “dead terrorist” Yemeni Anwar al Awlaki’s anchor baby children are more qualified for the presidency than is Ted Cruz. A strict interpretation of the blackstone interpretation applied in both directions would deny that opportunity to Awalaki’s anchor baby kids.
