I am speaking exactly about POTUS eligibility requirements. I repeat my post to you verbatim.

"I am speaking exactly about POTUS eligibility requirements. I repeat my post to you verbatim."

Verbatim: Any U.S. citizen, non-naturalized and who meets the age requirement, can be POTUS according to you. Not everyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen. The Constitution calls for the specific natural born citizen requirement. According to you, that specificity can be overlooked altogether. Why do you think the Framers included this distinction if there was no need to make the clarification? And since then, if it was so clearly a typo, why hasn't an amendment been made?

I think you waver between trying to aruge that at least one parent needs to be a citizen, or at least lived here for a reasonable amount of time, or maybe intended to become a citizen as soon as they could get all the necessary paperwork together, or, like the Rubio's, were in the process....

Yet, here again are your words that you wrote on this thread:

"One need not have any citizen parents to be a natural born citizen - as is the case with Marco Rubio."
