U.S. Presidents & The Natural-born-citizen Clause

 (February 4, 2016 at 2:27 pm)Minimalist Wrote: The problem is that the constitution uses the phrase "natural born citizen" and never defines it. No, but it's been interpreted as meaning someone who was either born in the U.S., or born outside of the U.S. to a parent who was a U.S. citizen (and there are some other age limit things, etc.) This thread isn't about what the phrase means, it's about whether there should be a clause in the first place. |
