He got destroyed when trying to run for a House seat in California of all places already. No idea what the hell he is thinking if he commits.

The requirement to be born in the US has never actually been tested in court and its possible it could be ruled unconstitutional if someone tried to fight it.

He claims that being a naturalized citizen entitles him to the same rights as the rest of us, including running for President. According to his interpretation of the Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution states that the president must:

  • Natural-born citizen of the United States
  • Be at least 35 years old
  • Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

Natural-born citizen of the United States

Now, to be fair? There's no actual legal definition for a natural-born citizen but that usually is used to question if noted Canadian Ted Cruz could be President or not.

Thing is Raphael Cruz may have been born in Canada but he did qualify for American citizenship from birth, thus the question regarding him. This is not the case for Cenk.

I believe both Cruz and McCain were born on American soil.

Also, would the Founding Fathers fight a war, construct the Constitution and allow King George to run for President of the United States?

McCain as I understand was born on a military base and thus there was never any real question regarding him.

Cruz on the other hand was born on Canadian soil in Alberta, in a Calgary hospital specifically if I recall.

I'm aware of this specifically because on 261 I mentioned repeatedly that Congress REALLY should define natural-born citizen, I can't imagine they'd have much trouble getting consensus between Democrats and Republicans on that. Most reasonable people would think if a person qualified for American citizenship from birth then that would be enough for natural-born citizen.

edit:

Of course if Cenk actually does run this could get the courts to define it which would be fine because it really needs to be defined, however it really should be Congress that does it rather than the courts.
