Exactly. His father was not a citizen, which automatically precludes him from having been president.
Unfortunately no one seems to care.
Nowhere in the constitution does it make reference to parents being American for eligibility, and I'm pretty sure Frank Marshal Davis was an American.
Because it's in the definitions themselves. Natural-born and Naturalized both mean, according to legal standards when the Constitution was written, that the individual's father is also a citizen. The reason for this is because the father would then be subject to being called into service for another nation and then the president would have divided loyalties.
That is made up garbage. Sauce that belief. Show me one founding father that suggested the like in. the federalist or anti-fed papers. Anchor babies are not naturalized.
So, if dad fights in a foreign war, that's a conflict, but not grand dad? How about brother? If your brother enlists in a foreign military are you ineligible due to possible conflicts and divided loyalties?
And again, if you would bother yourself to actually read Article 1 Section 3, you wouldn't be suggesting such nonsense.
