July 29 is the New Jersey petition deadline for independent presidential candidates and the presidential candidates of unqualified parties. Eight presidential candidates submitted petitions: independents Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Shiva Ayyadurai; and the nominees of the Libertarian, Green, Constitution, American Solidarity, Socialism & Liberation, and Socialist Workers Parties.
Shiva Ayyadurai was born in India and a news story says that the Secretary of State will need to decide whether to print his name on the ballot. The story did not mention that New Jersey has an unbroken tradition of putting ineligible presidential candidates on the November ballot. They include the Socialist Workers Party presidential candidates in 1972, 2004, and 2008 (Linda Jeness and Roger Calero); the Prohibition Party vice-presidential nominee in 1892 (James Cranfill); the Workers World Party candidate in 1988 (Larry Holmes); and the 2008 vice-presidential nominee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (Eugene Puryear).
Not to mention Chester Arthur (R), Barack Obama (D), John McCain (R), Kamala Harris (D), and Heaven knows how many other non natural born citizens the uniparty has put on the ballot in New Jersey.
Here is what Dr Ayyadurai himself has to say on the matter:
“Article 2 Section 1 of the Constitution referred to ‘native born’ requirement for being President. However, ‘native born’ was never defined. In fact the Maryland Legislature voted to make Marquis De Lafayette and his family native born US Citizens.
Regardless, the Constitution is not a fixed document. It changes with things called Amendments. The 5th and 14th Amendments combined with many Supreme Court rulings made it explicitly clear that it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL to discriminate between a Native Born and Naturalized Citizen.
Therefore, it is Unconstitutional to NOT allow DR.SHIVA to run and moreover to become President. This would violate those two Amendments, which abrogated/repealed Article 2 Section 1.
Finally, in 2011, the FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION (FEC) ruled a Naturalized citizen can run for President and raise monies privately but just could not receive matching funds.
This is clear as day, he can run and be President.
If any of the States challenge him, we will take this all the way to the Supreme Court.”
Naturally, I believe he is incorrect, but since the constitution is systematically ignored for uniparty candidates, the same should apply to independent and third party candidates.
NATURAL BORN USA CITIZEN = FATHER IS A USA CITIZEN [NATURAL BORN OR NATURALIZED] THE SECOND HIS KID IS BORN
PLACE OF BIRTH MEANS ZERO.

I disagree. Natural Born citizen meant one born in the USA to American citizen parents.
I agree with Andy.
