Seems as though someone born in Saudi Arabia to an American citizen who never sets foot on American soil can qualify to run for the United States Presidency. Even though a person with this background would owe their allegiance to their home country Saudi Arabia.

This does not seem to be a well thought out opinion. The court made up their own definition. There will be repercussions to this if it stands. We shall see.

You summarize it pretty well but I see it as a stamp of approval for the North American Union.

We now have a citizen of Canada running as president.

How long before we have a citizen of Mexico running as president?

And voila, precedent now says anyone can run for president of the US. Conservatives are really special aren’t they?

For what it's worth, I suspect there are plenty of NBCs born to liberals who already owe their allegience to places like Saudi Arabia (or, in the case of Bernie S, mother Russia).
