Because his mother was a citizen of Scotland and hence was a subject of another jurisdiction
Stop spreading FAKE NEWS on this board. She was a citizen.
Donald Trump's parents were both U.S. citizens. His father, Frederick Christ Trump, was born in the US. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, became a U.S. citizen in 1942.
But what if she hadn't? It wouldn't have made a shit-bit of difference. Donald's father was a US citizen.
You didn't know this public information? Or, shillin' like a villain? ;p
But that’s not what the person above said. If she was still a subject of Scotland, would he be a US citizen?
Not sure what you are attempting to accomplish here bud. So, a few questions:
What is making you think Donald's mother was still a subject of Scotland when he was born?
And, why do you think his mother's citizenship would impact Donald's citizenship, when he was born in NY to an American-born father?
Also, what is making you believe Marco Rubio is not an American citizen?
Do you believe it is legal for the Secretary of State of the United States to be a foreign national? If so, why do you believe that?
Do you believe Donald Trump's character would include knowingly choosing a non-US citizen as Secretary of State?
Do you believe Trump's level of awareness and intelligence includes not knowing whether Marco is a US citizen?
Do you actually believe the US Senate would confirm, 99-0, a person for Secretary of State—fourth in the line of succession for the presidency—who is a foreign national?
If so, why do you believe these things?
If you don't believe them, then what are you trying to do?
Because his mother was a citizen of Scotland and hence was a subject of another jurisdiction?
Or what about Marco Rubio, who was born in Florida to two Cuban citizens, neither of whom were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth?

And what about Rubio? Neither of his parents were a citizen when he was born. Are we saying our Secretary of State is an illegal non-citizen?

Did you read the comment I was replying to, at all?
“So, if a child is born in this country but its parents are subjects of another jurisdiction, it is NOT US citizen.”
If that’s true, then Marco Rubio, Trump’s handpicked Secretary of State, is an illegal immigrant. Do you disagree?
And yes, the Secretary of State must be a U.S. citizen per federal law, 8 USC 1104.
I don’t know why raising these simple questions is triggering you, but that’s one of the things we do here - raise questions.
