I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

However, any child born on “US soil” is considered “native born”. This includes being born in a US military hospital—or emgbassy/consulate—in Germany or any other country. That is why McCain could run for president even though he was born in a US military hospital in the Panama Canal Zone.

When the issue of The Marxist Onada’s actual country of birth came up during the election the left,and its willing accomplices in the MSM, tried to make an issue of McCain’s qualification to run for president. As usual the left lied about the actual situation and the media simply printed what they were told.

Holding dual citizenship does not disqualify an American from running for president so long as he/she was born on “American soil” and is therefore “Native born”.

Really, the citizenship requirement to run for president is has been around for a long time. Up until Onada, it had not occured to an unqualified American to run for the office.

But then, along comes Onada and the left. To hell with that they said. Anyone should be allowed to run for the US presidency—you know just like anyone can run for the Chinese Politbureau, the Russian premiership or French Prime Minister (I’m being snide here).

Up until Onada and his gang of commies came along, there was not even a formal vetting process in place to insure the presidential candidates were “native born”. Why? Aspiring presidential candidates had retained at least some modicum of honor. It would not have occured to them to willy nilly ignore a clear and important Constitutional requirement.

Wow, you’ve got a lot of study and research to do WRT this subject. You are wrong on several points.

Dual citizenship disqualifies a person from eligibility to serve as Commander-in-Chief and President of the United States. The singular purpose of the natural born citizen clause was to deny that office to any person born with an allegiance to a foreign sovereign. Any person born with dual citizenship is thereby born with allegiance to a foreign sovereign in direct violation of the purpose of the Constitution’s clause and intended purpose.
