Big statement coming from a president that will inform the rest of the world as they watch us sink. God help us all if the cackling skank becomes president.
I agree. The "natural born" phrase in the late 1700's would clearly have been interpreted as "father is a LOYAL citizen". Today it means nothing, but a case could be made for Obama and Ted Cruz, in both cases the mother is a citizen - Obama supposedly born in Hawaii probably makes it, Cruz born in Canada, it seems as long as mother is a citizen you are natural born. In the 1960's the citizen parent had to act to register the child with State Dept. or the child would NOT be a citizen. Kummala is an anchor baby - she was born here while her parents were here temporarily with no intent to become citizens - not "subject to the jurisdiction of ..". They lived in Canada for a while then came back - the anchor baby helped them get back in. How that can be a natural-born citizen escapes me, but it has been clearly demonstrated that the Constitution is a pretty piece of penmanship work today but no one can decipher the markings.

Not if. When.
Probably before 2024. I don’t see how this cardboard cutout can make it for another 3.5 years.
Truth... This is perhaps the finest of psychological warfare ever perpetrated on the American people.
It’s possible she is ineligible. Enter piglosi.

Sad but true. The language is quite clear but has been twisted to a mangled heap of what it once was.
I can’t believe I have never heard this before.
You are wrong. Originalism implies that Ted Cruz is NOT a natural born citizen. He was naturalized at birth and there is a difference. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-lee-is-ted-cruz-eligible-to-be-president-20160110-story.html
You cannot be "naturalized at birth", you either have citizenship at birth or you don't.
A downright scary thought...
