  1. 1. In a Presidential election, would you vote for a guy who was born in Canada?

    • Sure. Canadians are cool. Besides, Canadians are more "American" than Hawaiians are.

    • Depends on which part of Canada. I'd never vote for someone born in Quebec but Albertans are cool. They're more "American" than Hawaiians are, that's fer damn sure!

    • Not a chance. Canada is overrun by Islamists and Communists so you never know. If you fish in bad water, you're likely to catch a mutant ninja turtle... or something.

    • I'm a no-borders kinda guy/gal so these national distinctions don't mean anything to me. I'm way better than the rest of you. Worship me, fools.

Looks as if "real America" couldn't muster a majority at the polls. Twice in a row.

That's because voters didn't have to show picture IDs to prove they were real.

You can be a US citizen w/o having been born in the US, without having been born to USC parents and without having been naturalized. Oh look, a birther!

No, but it is the concept of the National Guard.

So not USC at birth but they don't have to natz either. Interesting.

SCOTUS should probably take this up soon and clarify it.

This extends to adopted children as well. So if a USC adopts a foreign child and that child is admitted as a lawful resident before the age of 18, that child automatically becomes a US citizen at that point in time.

Sounds like a loophole to me.

Some people refer to it simply as US Immigration and Citizenship law.

Automatic U.S. Citizenship After Birth - But Before the Age of 18

Maybe it's time you take yours in for a tune-up, too?

It only applies for presidential candidates. The USC states only an American-born can be president. It is not an indicment on naturalized citizens.

Not being natural born is a disqualifier, it does not discredit anyone. It's a qualification. Like when you go to Disney and you have to be 36 inches or taller to ride and you're just 33 inches tall. You're not discredited. Just disqualified.

My point is that I don't understand the qualification to begin with and don't think it's a necessary qualification. Unlike the height requirement on a roller coaster that is to protect people from flying out and getting injured/killed, I just see the "born in America" qualification as outdated and unnecessary. Personal opinion there.

Also, I was referring to all of the issues with previous candidates born outside the US but on a base, etc., when I was talking about it being used to discredit. It's a grey area even in the Constitution so I don't understand all the attacks based around it.

I am the USC/petitioner.

I tend to agree that it is no longer a necessary qualification in this day and age, given the extremely high levels of media-driven scrutiny candidates get these days.

But you don't understand the history behind it? Seriously? How could you not?

Oh no, the history of it I get. I know why it was put there initially. I never said that I didn't understand the history of it. I just don't understand it as it stands now and why we still cling to it. That's all.
