I don't get it...

[Boris Godunov]

Dude, that was like, sooooooo long ago!

And I was on subject.

I would like to see Edwin C. Beast, affectionately known as "CBeast" by his family and friends, of Muncie, IN to be the President. I think he'd be outstanding.

WuTang would be awesome for president, but IMHO

we need a child prodigy, forget the age req, we're better off with

-Doogie Howser
OR
-Dexter

or Ming wouldnt be too bad either, but he might just end up banning all of US citizens

[Seneca]

John Lennon couldn't run for President. You have to be born in the US to be President.

Is that true? What if your parents just happened to be on holiday at the time?

[Zero]

can't. Ya gotta be natural citizen of US. unless you run to the nearest US embassy, that counts as US soil.

[Dauphin]

I'd like to see that rule contested. Are there any major US politicians who were born to US parents but outside of the US?

[Dr. Nick]

Terry Pratchett.

Many... we have many naturalized US citizen who is US politician. Many dont even have US parents.

but they cant run for presidency.

EDIT: actually I dont know about the "Many" part but I know we some. Not sure on numbers so i cant be sure if we have "many"

So what would happen if it was proven that Dubya was actually born in international waters when the Bushes were on a cruise day trip?

[Seneca]

Nothing the Supreme Court couldn't sort out.

[Evil Knevil]

A cyborg Nixon, ala Futurama.

NIXONS BACK!!!!!! (proceeds to destroy most of Washington)

Who's kicking who around now? As he crunches people.

Either that or a victorious Iraqi military Junta headed by Saddam Hussein.

[Zero]

im not sure about international waters... surely they must have a rule about that too.

What citizenship does a child get probably determines it.

[Zero]

we have position up to senator level whos immigrated here when he was little. I just gotta figure out his name.

He has a US parent but they are his adopted parents.

Almost. You have to be born a U.S. citizen. That means (a) being born on U.S. soil or (b) having at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen.
