    Do you? I thought you had to be a birthright citizen, which is not exactly the same thing.

      Several recent Republicans running for US President were born outside of the USA, but still US citizens from birth. So logically one would assume that as long as you were a US citizen from birth you could be US President.

      However, the Constitution says “natural born citizen” without explaining what that means.

      My guess is that the current Supreme Court would come up with whatever ruling supported MAGA wishes and release it without explanation in the middle of the night on the weekend, as has become their custom.
