What is your position on children of military born overseas?
My position as to whether they are natural born citizens, eligible to become president? (I assume that’s what you meant.)
Being an ordinary person with no higher education, and certainly on the low end of the totem pole on legal beagle stuff, I only read what others post and try to form an understanding.
There seems to be a bit of gray area - to me (and again, I really do not know the absolute legal truth here, if there is such a thing), it appears that if both parents are US citizens, and the child is born on a US military base, the child most likely may be a natural born citizen. Otherwise, looks like a citizen, and if one parent is a foreign national, might have dual citizenship. But that probaly is also determined by the laws of the country in which he is born. If born off base, then maybe a dual ciziten as well, and would look to me as though not natural born.
But, again, I don’t know - it’s just based on what I try to glean reading these threads.
It seems clear that if 0bama was not born in the US as he claims (and there has been no proof that he was born in the US, so his real place of birth remains unknown), then it looks clear that he is not a natural born citizen, and thus unqualified to be president.
It also looks (again, what do I know - just have my natural born mother wit to guide me) that there are indeed three kinds of citizens - naturalized, natural born, and citizens who are “regular” citizens - meaning, they didn’t become citizens by becoming naturalized, but there were other factors such as being born in a foreign country, or with dual citizenship at birth because of one parent being a foreigner.
I will keep reading and learning.
