You don't have to be born in the US to be POTUS. John McCain was born in Panama. The requirement is "natural born" which just means you are born to two American parents. Could be anywhere in the world. Just sayin'

that isnt true. One must be born in the US or to at least one US citizen.

I think that is subject to interpretation. Many children were born to GIs and Vietnamese nationals in Vietnam that were not granted citizenship in the US.

Good point.

Cummala is the prime reason for getting rid of the "birthright citizen" crap. It may have been a good policy when this country was brand new and needed every body it good get. That is no longer the case and we have to be more selective.

 

[Mac-7]

At the very least birthrite citizenship should apply only to the children of legal residents

Not migrants, illegal aliens or tourists

I agree. Anchor baby legislation is long overdue. If you are not in the US legally, You have no rights.
