On March 14, U.S. Supreme Court Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer were testifying before the House Appropriations Committees on the U.S. Supreme Court budget. A committee member, Congressman Jose Serrano, was born in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, but he came to New York city at the age of seven. He represents a district in the Bronx. For some reason the justices joked with Serrano about whether he would be eligible to be President, given that he was born in Puerto Rico. See this story. The justices also joked about whether Serrano is old enough. Actually he is age 69. Thanks to HowAppealing for the link.
NBC = AT BIRTH ALLEGIANCE to the U.S.A. regime – based on father’s nation-state status.
Naturalized citizen = AFTER birth change in ALLEGIANCE from a foreign regime to the U.S.A. regime.
Difficult ONLY for the SCOTUS jokesters ???
See *allegiance* in the last para of the 4 July 1776 DOI and the naturalization oath for new U.S.A. citizens.
How many folks residing in the U.S.A. are NOT U.S.A. citizens of any type ??? i.e. are de facto foreign invaders.

I am Spartucus!
1- Why based solely on father’s status. What about the mother?
# 4 TOTAL male domination up to the very recent New Age unisex stuff — ant hill families – who knows who your daddy is stuff, etc.
See the 1790 first U.S.A. Naturalization Act.
# 2 14th Amdt, Sec. 1 —
*subject to the jurisdiction thereof* = having ALLEGIANCE to the U.S.A. Const.
NO change from 4 Mar 1789.
The sentence was added to overrule the infamous Dred Scott v. Sandford SCOTUS case in 1857 — i.e. to make negroes / colored / blacks, both free and ex-slave to be U.S.A. citizens IF they had an allegiance to the U.S.A. regime.
See the 1866 U.S.A. Senate debates which added the born sentence in 14-1.
Way too many brain dead legal history MORONS are judges — since the research they get from brain dead LAZY lawyers is so evil rotten.
A bit more –
The ALLEGIANCE chain since 4 July 1776
Folks in the States who were loyal to the DOI became State citizens and thus *United* States of America citizens — and their under 21 children.
ALL sorts of purges, loyalty oaths, acts of attainer, expulsions, treason trials, etc. regarding Brit monarch loyalists during the Am. Rev. WAR in 1775-1783 — ONE very rough and tough Civil WAR / revolution.
Multi-thousands of Brits got OUT of the U.S.A. via the 1783 U.S.A. – Brit Peace Treaty — i.e. LOST ALL of their real estate in the U.S.A.
———-
USA Fathers, natural born or later naturalized, have natural born kids.
Difficult ONLY for the many MORONS who have NO allegiance to the U.S.A. Const — but only have some personality cult fixation for certain party hacks.

One more messed up court case.
The FEC is NOT a court — i.e. has NO power to rule on the qualifications of any candidate.
