Due to non citizens being a danger to the US or something, Trump taught us even US citizens can be a danger.

Not just US citizens, but naturally-born US Citizens with exceptions to people born in US embassies and military bases I believe.

Not the same. Everyone can be shit but a foreigner who makes president may show a bias to the country of their orgin or worse.

I believe Ted Cruz is a citizen because one of his parents is a citizen. Can't remember the exact details on which one.

His mothers vagina constituted US soil, which makes sense because republicans think they can control womens reproductive rights

Unless Trump was the only US citizen you ever perceived as a threat this makes absolutely no sense.....

Children born to one or more US citizen parents are generally considered to be naturally born citizens regardless of where they were actually born.

That was put in because back in the day because they were afraid British born people would get elected and destroy the country. You also have to live in America for a certain amount of time too. So a British person can't just pop a kid out here and then yeet it back to the UK to get indoctrinated and then run for prez >_>

Yup. All the more reason that the birther stuff was especially stupid, as even if they were right about Obama being born in Kenya then the fact that he popped out of an American vagina makes him a natural born citizen regardless.

It was plainly just racism. Also it gets overlooked now but birtherism is how Trump first put his foot into politics. He was by far the biggest diehard birther believer and tried to keep the conspiracy going long past when every other Republican realized it wasn't going anywhere.

It was about of it was illegal or not. They wherent looking to get him booted from the race. They where looking to stir drama to cost him votes. Let's face it probably the majority of the voters arents all that knowledgeable about the laws regarding stuff like this so a lot are just gonna knee jerk reaction to it

He was born on a US base in Panama and that was used as the excuse at the time in 2008 for why the birtherism stuff doesn't apply to him because US bases are technically US soil. But then in 2015/2016 Ted Cruz ran for president and he was plainly just born in Canada. So then Republicans changed their mind and said that you're a "natural-born citizen" if you're a citizen at birth through your parents. Which also meant that it was pointless going in circles for years about whether Obama was really born in Hawaii because he would've been a citizen through his parents also anyway.

Yes, but in the Panama Canal Zone, which was a quasi-US territory. Congress passed a non-binding resolution stating that he was naturally born to avoid any potential legal hiccups as well, even though it wasn't necessary.

A naturalized citizen actually goes through background checks and legally renounce any former oath or pledge to a former power.

Oh yeah, well aware. It was just racists and catering to racists.

If Barack Hussein Obama II was instead Barry Howard O'Brien II and you changed nothing except making his dad a Northern Irishman, there wouldn't have been a single peep from the far right on if he was natural-born or not.
