The Courts don’t seem to agree with that.
Martin Van Buren in 1837 was the first president who was a natural born citizen, the seven presidents before him were born British subjects. John Adams was even the attorney for the British crown in prosecuting the American revolutionaries involved in the Boston Massacre.
Blacks got U.S. citizenship via statute, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which negated the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dred Scott v Sandford which said that blacks had never been citizens and could never be citizens. American Indians got citizenship via statute from the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
Asian Americans got citizenship via repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act statutes.
I don’t think that there are many people who would say that no black, no American Indian and no Asian-American can be president because citizenship for that group of people was originally created by statute.
The constitutional basis for those statutes is the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens...”
The offspring of naturalized citizens whose citizenship was created by statute are natural born citizens.
The Courts are filled with baby-killing faggot-loving Marxists.

Yeah, well they had to openly grandfather themselves, because there were no natural born citizens of age yet....but all of us already knew that.

I don’t think that there are many people who would say that that has any bearing on the subject matter at hand, but rather matters of naturalization.
The constitutional basis for those statutes is the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens...” The offspring of naturalized citizens whose citizenship was created by statute are natural born citizens.
Yeah, but only if they were born in the US....but then again, all of us already know that. So what?
