That's what the Founding Fathers would have said. It doesn't matter how many allegiances or multiple citizenships a person has, as long as they were born here.

You could have parents, one with Russian citizenship and one with Chinese citizenship who fly here to give birth so that that child could be president some day, exactly what the FFs had in mind!

I didn't think you were right about your claim until I thought it through. Good call.

We need to have this resolved in the courts sooner rather than later. We have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born to illegal aliens in this country annually. They are automatically US citizens per US Code.

One out of every 8 people in this country are foreign born--the highest in 90 years--and by 2050 one in five will be foreign born. We need to resolve the Presidential eligibility issue now.

You’re both wrong!

Three types of citizenship are recognized by our government: native born; naturalized; and citizen-by-statute. All have equal rights. All can serve in Congress, either as a Representative in the House, or as a Senator in the Senate.

The following link will take you to the government’s own Immigration Service web page describing the three types of citizenship.

Natural Born Citizen is NOT a type of statutory citizenship as per the Federal Government. Natural Born is ONLY an eligibility requirement for the U.S. Presidency per Article II, Section 1, clause 5, of the U.S. Constitution, and requires, as per the Founders, the President to be born in the United States (jus solis) AND of citizen parents (jus sanguinas).

No one has the RIGHT to be President. The eligibility requirement of Natural Born Citizenship (jus solis + jus sanguinas: born in the U.S. of U.S. citizen parents) must be viewed as a means to prevent split allegiance for any President of the United States.

This definition is supplied in the Supreme Court decision and holding of Miner v. Happersett (1974). It has been used in a minimum of 25 SCOTUS cases.
