Vivek Ramaswamy: Not Constitutionally Eligible to Be President

Sue, it takes more than being a Citizen to be president. It takes a natural born Citizen born of American citizen parents to be president. Citizen and natural born Citizen are not the same thing. That's why Citizens of US Territory Puerto Rico can never be president.
Natural born citizen....born in the US. Hawaii is part of the US. Birthers are loony.
 
He's a natural born US citizen from birth. He's eligible.. no amount of your ignorance changes that.
No he's not dumbass. His parents weren't naturalized US citizens when he was born. You're advocating for anchor babies to be president. You're mind is that of a criminal.

Puerto Rico is under US jurisdiction.

There's only two kinds of US citizenship... Natural born and naturalized.
 
So you guys are gonna use the whole bullshit Obama argument on him. LOL. Proving once again, conservatives eat their own.

Ok, so let's look at the law straight up.

Upon further inspection,
"While the Constitution does not define natural born Citizen, commentators have opined that the Framers would have understood the term to mean someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time".

The problem here is "interpretation". And that's where Viv can hang the sticklers up if he wants to make the argument. Not sure why people are getting up in arms about a guy that has absolutely no chance of being the Republican nominee.
He wants to be Trump's VP selection.

15 years later and we have to go through this extreme stupidity again.
 
Unless you are the child of foreign diplomats, it does. Your ignorance is getting so tiresome.
Nope! When both parents are citizens and the child is born on US soil then the children are natural born. When only one or neither parent is a citizen then the child is also only a 14th Amendment citizen with all the same rights as a Natural Born Citizen except that of the President. Vivek's parents weren't naturalized citizens when he was born. He's a dual citizen and not eligible.

Listen to the esteemed professor explain why Vivek isn't eligible.

Read the statute. The US has jurisdiction of everyone on US soil. The professors is FOS.

You don't know what you're yammering about. Nothing in U.S. law insists a president has to have 2 U.S. citizen parents. Arthur didn't. Obama didn't. Cruz didn't, but he still ran. And you're dead wrong about Puerto Ricans. Goldwater was born in a U.S. territory yet he would have been president had he won in the election he ran.
 
No, he's a Citizen by statute. If it takes a statute to make a Citizen, that's not a natural born Citizen. His parents weren't naturalized citizens when he was born.

LOL

Idiot, the only citizens who are citizens by statute are naturalized. All others are natural.

India doesn't allow dual citizenship.

 
Just because you're born in America doesn't make you a natural born Citizen. There's more to it than that. The article is right.

Nope, that article is dead wrong. Most notably for incorrectly attributing the definition of "natural born citizen" to a Vattel publication in 1758, that didn't actually define that term.

LOL

According to your delusions, John McCain was ineligible to run. Yet he almost became president. You're killin' it here, Sport. Keep it up.

Nobody didn't know about Arthur's father being a foreigner at the time. And yes, Puerto Ricans aren't eligible for the presidency. Why? Because they're Citizen but not natural born Citizens. Justice Thomas confirmed it years ago.


Haley, Harris, Jindal and Rubio are all 14th Amendment citizens. Born on US soil to foreign parents. Cruz is a Canadian with zero US citizenship papers and Gabbard wasn`t born on US soil and is a US naturalized citizen only by virtue of her parent`s citizenship.

Most people fail to understand that to be a Natural Born Citizen depends on the citizenship or the allegiance of the parents of the child in question.
