Sure, if you prefer some other candidate, go for it -- but use valid arguments for why your guy is better.
amazing. you can explain it to people 100 times, and they’re just committed to get ‘their guy’ in, no matter what.
the logic is simple.
the founders deliberately used the term ‘natural born citizen’ as requirement for the office of the president. the reason was to insure that, at least by birth, the office would only be held by an American. also, they wanted to insure that it would impossible for someone to be POTUS as well as some foreign king.
therefore, once again, it would not be possible for someone with multiple citizenship possibilities, at birth, to assume the office of the president. hence the term ‘natural born citizen’... as you have no alternative.
TCruz, MRubio, and BH0bama all had multiple citizenship possibilities at birth. they may be citizens of various countries, but they are natural born citizens of none.
people born in America to American parents don’t understand this, as they’ve never had the options.
as the son of a Scottish mother, on the day i was born in the US, i was an American citizen as well as British by decent... a term that allows me to hold dual citizenship... and 2 passports.
I, like TCruz, am not eligible under Article 2 Section 1.
just the facts
