If I hatched in USSR, but was born in USA, can I still run for president?

[pvsi]

I have always been discouraged to run for actual president, but yesterday as I was mowing my lawn some old customers from my bar stopped by and we talked politics for an hour, and one guy said he would vote for me if I ran for president. Anyway, I never thought about that idea, because was "born" as in came out from vagina back in USSR, BUT... come to think of it, born as an intelligent human being only happened after I lived in USA for some time, so technically speaking I may still be eligible to run for president in America or not? especially considering that American president is often referred to as a world leader, while only Americans elect him, something doesn't seem right, maybe we can make it right. thoughts?

Nyet!

 

[Intolerant]

You would be an anchor baby. And yes you would still be able to become president.

 

[Dayton3]

If at least one of your parents were an American citizen at the time you were born or you were born on U.S. embassy grounds or other acknowledged diplomatic grounds of the U.S. inside the U.S.S.R. (like a consulate) or aboard a U.S. warship in Soviet waters you can still run for president.

How are you mowing your lawn if youre in prison?

Do you have a birth certificate duly signed by a laundry detergent?

The conspirators like that.

O'ButtSniff was born in Kenya..........

Anyone's guess who the father is.............

When Marxists have parties tradition is to give everyone a gift. O'ButtSniff's mother was that gift.......

Understandable. Most people would be reluctant to elect someone with Down's Syndrome.

Where you were hatched has no bearing on anything. Where you drew your first breath is where you were born.

Only if your government sent you here to play Hockey for the Red Wings.

You just gave me an idea! If I become a president, I owe you. But on a second thought I may not even need to fake my birth certificate, because I can always claim I'm a born again Christian. There was no Jesus in USSR so how can I have been born there?

Good point. It's worth a shot.

You're at least even with Ted Cruz. And you'd certainly get the religio-wacknut vote.

I didn't "misquote" anything. The fact is, when you click "quote" the board software deletes some of the post's passages that are in quote boxes. Try it yourself. As you can see above, this time it deleted the remaining quotes and left a big blank space. I didn't do that.

The only way to get around that is to go back to your original post and insert them manually. It wasn't worth that expenditure of time.

I don't know why it does that -- you could ask the site admin instead of making empty accusations.

Three things:
1) Anyone who has "denounced" his American citizenship as you have is ineligible.
2) You already proclaimed yourself to be the elected ruler of your New World gov't. Why would you even want to demean yourself by running for mere POTUS?
3) You say you've been "discouraged to run for actual president" ... discouraged by whom and WTF is the "actual president?" Is there another kind?
