One might assume that this was thoroughly checked by his legal team before he declared candidacy. Too many people have assumed that someone else has checked his info. Assuming something makes an a** out of you and me. Someone born a citizen of Another Country till the age of 23 can not be a natural born US citizen. The people have been duped and now we have an upsurper who REFUSES to release his long form birth certificate.
No- the President must be a natural born citizen.
To be eligible for president, a person must be at least 35 years old, a natural-born US citizen, and have lived in the US for at least 14 years.
No. Only a natural-born US Citizen can become Vice President (the same as for becoming President). The Twelfth Amendment to the US Constitution states that: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States" ... and Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution states that: "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
His whole life - The president must be a natural born US citizen and be at least 35 years old. ( So, you can say he must have been a citizen for the longer of all his life and 35 years. ) The president must also have actually lived in the US for 14 years.
The Vice-President must be a natural born citizen of the United States.The final paragraph of the twelfth amendment reads:But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.Therefore, the Vice-President must be constitutionally eligible for the Presidency. These requirements are that they must be a natural born citizen of the United States, that they be no less than thirty five years old, and that they have been a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.
The United States Constitution says;"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."This is why only a natural born 'American' Citizen may become President. (not U.S. CITIZEN)The only other people who could become President were the ones who had already became a Citizen before the Constitution was adopted. None of those Citizens are still alive today, so now you must be natural born.
The US Constitution states that only a natural-born citizen of the United States is eligible to serve as president; a person born outside of the United States, even if he later becomes a citizen, may not serve.
You need to be good at politics and must be at least thirty-five years of age to run for President.
Art. II, Sec. 1: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty five years, and been fourteen Years a resident within the United States."
The Constitution requires that ; "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Yes. According to the U.S. Constitution (Section 1 of Article II): "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." There are some exceptions [as to who is a U.S. citizen but not as to "natural born"]: http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode08/usc_sec_08_00001401----000-.html
Some people say no, citing the "natural born citizen" wording as meaning only born in the geographic boundaries of the country. Others say that the phrase has meant (since before the American Revolutionary war) a more expanded interpretation of citizenship, and that yes, he is eligible, as the natural-born child of a citizen.
