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?

GilGil are you not a conservative?
So could I make the same argument that 2 American citizens have a kid in the USA then go live in Saudi for 40 years, is that child eligible to be president?

Can I ask if Trump was the one born in the situation of Cruz would you be on the same side?
Because I see this as a rule but I don’t really have the background of why the rule was made.
IMO the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ does not bother me since there’s plenty of America Haters that easily make the NBC clause.

Ideology before country. No different than communists.
