The correct term is citizen. The term ‘subject’ hasn’t been in effect for decades.

Wrong is correct. She accepted the title of duchess. US citizens are not allowed titles. Father is British. Son born in Britian of royalty has no claim on US citizenship.

She gave up her citizenship to marry into royal family.

I remember that situation with Cruz the dual citizen, too. Smartest lawyer on the planet would've/should've given that up long ago. That and his campaign's really nasty tactics broke the spell for me. It also got me wondering, pure speculation, if we didn't have the Obama situation wrong. Did his Indonesian dad adopt him, thus making him a citizen there? We really don't know.

There's a reason for the "natural born citizen" restriction. Keeps us from being taken over by folks with conflicted loyalties.

Here comes the NBC crowd. (I agree, but it’s not ever going to be an option...)

They certainly did question it....and legally. He was eventually declared eligible.

“Umm, someone does not understand “natural born citizen”.

Apparently not. They keep speaking of Kamala Harris as if she is one, too. She is not.

“I don’t like dual citizenship.”

I think it’s wrong, too. It makes no sense at all.

She announced intent to give up her citizenship. There is no word that she has actually, and may not until she is a UK citizen, which hasn’t happened yet. Other royals from outside, such as Prince Philip, gave up their foreign citizenship.

“She accepted the title of duchess.”

A few days ago I read MM was pissed about that, too. She wanted to be “Princess”, but QE said, “Uh uh.”

"The whole object of being a US Citizen is total loyalty to the country.

Well, with the exception of Trump, that hasn't worked out very well for us of recent, has it.?? :(

Nobody questioned his American citizenship, but lots of folks knew he wasn’t eligible to run for President.

George Romney was even worse. I’m not sure he was even a US citizen.

Unclear what your point is. I was referring to the definition of what the Founders meant when they included natural born citizen in the Constitution, which is a separate concept from however immigrants were naturalized by that Act.

The kid will be the first brother in line for the English throne, while still remaining eligible for reparations in the US.

Isn’t the minimum age for a President something like 35 years? With the world ending in 12 years because of global warming - of course he can’t be president.

Kate’s not a princess, why would Meghan be one?

born within the bounds of the United States.

Sorry. But that defines a native born citizen, NOT a natural born citizen.

See On Constitutional Eligibility.

Doesn’t seem to matter anymore does it?
