The requirement is "natural born citizen," which has nothing to do with geographic place of birth. It is a condition where both parents are U.S. citizens, so the offspring would "naturally" be citizens. My cousin was born of a French father and an American mother in Paris, yet she retains U.S. citizenship through the Mother's citizenship (holds dual citizenship).
Both rules are true. One is a natural born citizen if they have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or if they are born on U.S. soil.
If one is born on U.S. soil then their parents' citizenship is irrelevant. If one is born outside of the U.S., then they are a natural born U.S. citizen if at least one parent holds U.S. citizenship.
Sorry. As far as the rule for president is concerned, "natural born" means that both parents are U.S. citizens. "Natural born" does not mean born on U.S. soil (though that may be "native born"). The term was 18th century terminology in international law. I repeat: the objective was to preclude having a president with any heritage citizenship in another nation, to avoid conflict of loyalty.
I though that Kabala couldn't become President because both of her parents were in this country on work visas (not citizens) when she was born.
they just stole america, i dont think they give two shits about our laws at this point
Exactly this! ☝🏻
Barry wasn't an American citizen so there's that.
Doesn't matter. If you're born on US soil you have US citizenship.

'Natural born' is needed to hold the office.
That's why they installed her.
To eventually make room for.......?
