WOW! So by that reasoning, my cousin, not a US citizen, can marry a British subject. A pregnancy ensues; they go to the USA for a vacation and their child is born in the USA.
By the reasoning of Laurence Tribe, Harvard Law School Prof. Emeritus; My second cousin could become a US president by virtue of having "popped out" in a hospital in the USA!
It's the same reasoning.
I honestly think Laurie baby is sorely mistaken!
Ok, I can follow that reasoning for preventing the removal from the ballot.
How does it apply to the scenario I described? Would a child, born in the USA, to vacationing foreigners be eligible to run for president of the USA by virtue of having been born in the USA? I always thought it was a requirement that the parents had to be US citizens AND their child must be born in the USA or one of it's territories.
Please educate a non USA anon
WoW!
I never knew that !
Thanks for the explanation. Still seems a bit of a loophole. Nice to remember that though.
