I now understand American Politics.

[Regret]

That's not appropriate for the Debate Room. You should know better.

And Echo calling Sin a twit is? Way to stick up for the other Republican kids.

 

[Green Ranger]

There is some speculation that he may have born in Kenya, and US law states that only a natural born citizen can be President. Just stating a fact. I don't want an illegal pres.

Nevermind the fact that it's one of the most ridiculous laws you guys have.

Nevermind the fact that it's one of the most ridiculous laws you guys have.

And that's saying something.

It's REDONKULOUS!

I wish we could have foreigners lead us, we'd have such better leaders if it were possible.

Who said anything about foreigners? If you're born in Kuwait, then raised in America, you're still American, and not a foreigner.

You don't know what you're missing.

But the rule is you have to be born in America.

Unfortunately.

Or on a military base....there are special exceptions.

 

[Lavi]

Born on American soil would be a more correct term.

Dumb.

I'm more American than McCain. Not that its a good thing.

You have to be born as an American but you don't necessarily have to be born in America. If a parent was an American, then you can be born as an American despite not being born in America.

 

[Lavi]

Born on American soil would be a more correct term.

In short.

 

[Sovereign]

You have to be born as an American but you don't necessarily have to be born in America. If a parent was an American, then you can be born as an American despite not being born in America.

There's a difference between being a citizen and being born on American soil. At least, if you want to run for office.

The origin of the law is that the founding fathers didn't want those dirty Brits becoming president. Irony if you think about it, right?

Being born on American soil = automatic American citizenship. There's a huge fuss about getting rid of this to decrease the number of illegal immigrants.
