Elon musk can't run for president because he was born in South Africa. So it will be ok.

Your bending the rules of the us constitution it states you have to be a natural born citizen which means born in the country of the United States. This means if Elon musk was not born in the US than he will never be allowed to run for president.

Correction, 14 years according to : Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Now if this was applied to all governmental positions that would be great.

Musk can run for president if he is a legal citizen and lives here for fourteen years. Government has a long history of not honoring treaties not just with native Americans but on other fronts as well. You need to read things closer bud. My correction wasn't that I was wrong about Musk eventually being eligible to be president, I was wrong about how long he has to live here. So in fact you are the one who stands corrected.

He can't run for president because he wasn't naturally born as a American citizens and wasn't naturally born to parents with American citizenship. And as far as the us treaty for Cherokee seat in the house of Representatives goes, it will happen and they will be seated, if a Cherokee representative is not seated and the treaty is not upheld, it will show that democracy has failed and America is nothing but a back stabbing liar that won't uphold any promises made to any country including itself.

Although his parents gained American citizenship after his birth neither of his parents were naturally born in America. So it's a no go for Elon musk as presiden, and if this lost country which is called America ever changed the constitution to allow exceptions to that rule, it would be the fall of America. It's already being replaced by corrupt individuals with foreign ties. I would rather have indigenous first peoples running the nation over the clucks that run it today.

Elon musk will never have the privilege as running for president, it would go against the constitution. And you my friend are funny. The semantics are a problem today because first of all native Americans were incorrectly called indians, and then native American needed to be switched to indigenous people, wich are first nations or first people, but to be seriously correct I would have to name all the tribes... Shawnee, Chippewa, Dakota, Pawnee, Choctaw, Senika, Cherokee, Crow, umaha, so many more to name. It depends on who your dealing with. All the paper forms for ethnicity offend Native Americans because they say Native American and don't identify every tribe. So IDK I'm not semantic person I'm just conversing and defending the constitution.

You are wrong on all fronts. Native Americans can and do run for office and have won office. The language is clear and you are refusing to read and understand. You are not defending the constitution you are defending your own ignorance. Tribal names no longer matter all indigenous people are considered natural citizens. And people who move here and are become legal citizens and live here for fourteen years can be president. I've directly quoted the constitution and you are ignoring it. Read it very closely at this link: https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript

Okay bud I'll paste this one more time. A direct quote from the United States Constitution. Read it very carefully.

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

See that word "or"? That means a legal citizen of the United States that's lived here for fourteen years. Either you didn't read the original comment I placed this in, or can't read very well and are dumb or you are just trolling. Whatever the case yes foreign born people meeting these conditions can run for president.

Your not comprehending the situation. Unless Elon musk was born in the 1700 when the constitution was written and was a citizen at the time the constitution was written than sure he could run for president. But he would need a time machine to accomplish that because he's not a natural born citizen and wasn't a citizen during the time of the writing of the constitution so he cannot run for president smarty. And it's people who can't read and comprehend old English in the constitution who twist up the common logic of what is written.

Incorrect this section of the constitution has never been amended and you are both factually incorrect and playing it fast and loose with semantics.

I'm really hoping someone else hoppes on this one to explain to sezmo "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" and why it doesn't matter if Elon musk lives in America for 14 years and is over 35 but not a natural born citizen or born to parents that were citizens at the time of his birth... He can't run for president. If he did totally corruption of America is eminent. The point I'm getting to with indigenous people is that it's their America and they should be the ones governing it in accordance to their beliefs, traditions, values and ways.

But that is not how America was ran before a government was formed. So if native Americans could reintroduce the original way America operated before the formation of government than it would be completely different. The reason tribes are sovereign is so they can operate their governments on their own terms. Of course they have adopted and participate in American elections but they also operate their own government separate from state and federal government.... I never said they can't run for office and I was getting to the point that they don't have to run because they were given a automatic seat in the house in the vain of their freedom and death.

Then more native Americans need to run for office. As for Musk, the Constitution outlines his path to the presidency. He became a legal US citizen in 2002. He is well beyond the fourteen year req. His parents don't matter his legal status does he is legally allowed to run for president. If he ran and won it would not be government corruption but the usual stupidity of the people. Of course he would need the Electoral College on his side but that isn't so hard to do given how crooked that institution has always been. The language is clear be born here or be a citizen living here for fourteen years. You are defending an incorrect point against citation and logic.

You still don't get it. I hope this is not the history being taught to you in school it's 1 natural born citizen, if born outside the country birth has to be to an American citizens, or being a American citizen during the time the us constitution was written and adopted. Then to follow is living 14 years in us as a member of the community with natural born citizenship or citizenship during the adoption of the constitution, and to be at least 35 years old. Last I checked the new constitution was adopted on September 17 1787 and everyone from that time period is dead, so if Elon musk was a citizen on September 17, 1787 than sure he can run, but he wasn't. And he's not a natural born citizen. It doesn't matter if he lives here 14 years as a dual citizen he'll never legally be allowed to run for president in accordance to the us constitution.

Wow. So basically because the framers are all dead the constitution as written does not apply anymore? That's the argument you are making. Factually you are incorrect. It says natural born or a citizen of fourteen years. You are patently wrong in everything you've said.

You skipped your or part -No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

No the framers didn't live in this era of technology and manipulation. The communicated by paper and horse, and messages took weeks. They had simple minds yet tried to protect the future with their logic. Back then invasion on the government was a real threat, as it is so today. That is why this mess of what's written and interpreted is killing America and her operations as we know it because nobody can read and decipher the logically written meaning of the constitution due to how technology has complicated the minds from logic.
