a version of the following was posted: 1/6/16 Presidential Eligibility: 21st Century consensus: Those children born to U.S. citizen-parents in foreign countries qualify as American citizens, or natural born Citizens. So, a child born in a foreign country to American parents or parent can become president of the United States of America. Presidential eligibility is considered a "non-justiciable political question" that might possibly be a Congressional question and not a question for the U.S. Supreme Court. - Wikipedia Within Article II of the U.S. Constitution (article and part abridged): "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States" can become president. Other requirements included in this part of Article II: The president has to be of the "Age of thirty-five Years and had been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States." - The World Almanac 2015 & Wikipedia President Obama was eligible to run for and become president (even if he was born in Kenya, which was proven to be untrue, as his mother was born in America), and so was Senator Cruz (who was born in Canada, whose father was Cuban, but whose mother was born in the U.S.).

Though there are certain rules in America that make our eyebrows raise once in a while, there are still rules that remain to be worthy and reasonable. I love the idea that there are still riles in America that is being implemented for everyone's welfare. After all, this is what country needs so the leaders must provide it in the first place. By the way, I am really hoping to see more meaningful changes to happen in our country. Trump's administration might be a surprise for the majority, but we need to trust him all throughout.
