“including two American citizen parents.”
______________________________________
I am not trying to start an argument here.
I am just asking for clarification.
I have read on here, as well as on other internet sites,
that the “natural born citizen” clause is ambiguous.
For example: “two citizen parents”
Both parents may be citizens, but one, or either both them were not born in the USA.
Others claim that not all presidents have had both parents
that were born in the USA.
The lefties made a big deal of McStain being born in an
off base hospital, not in the canal zone.
These are just a few examples of what I run in to.
What I was merely asking is there some official
documents that clearly states that BOTH parents MUST have been born on American soil?
I am just trying to get our ducks in a row, before running down a dead end road, or looking silly.
It's very simple. To be a NBC, both parents must be citizens of the US at the time of the person's birth. It doesn't matter if the parents were born here or went through legal naturalization just as long as they are US citizens when the person is born. The only exception was made clear in the Constitution for those citizens back during the signing of the Constitution meaning the founding fathers were eligible.
And well they should have. McRINO isn't eligible. Sure, his parents were US citizens but he wasn't born on US soil. If he'd been born on the US military base in Panama, then there wouldn't have been a question, but he was born in Colon which was not US soil. So, you're looking at the RAT ticket being ineligible and the GOP ticket also being ineligible, but guess what! The Independant ticket, which had the third largest general votes (yes, Electoral College decides the POTUS but play along) of Nader/Gonzales wasn't eligible because of Gonzales. Truth be told, if everyone had followed the rules we would have President Barr and VP Root who came in 4th but first in eligibility.
No such claim has been made that I've ever seen. However both parents must be Citizens at the time of the birth for their child to be a NBC. The method of Citizenship of the parents isn't an issue.
