No argument there. But that isn't the point. Trump can't do business without being crooked but he still won.

We have been over this unless muck was naturally born as a us citizen, or was alive on September 17 , 1787 than he could run. It doesn't matter if he becomes a citizen and lives in America for 14 years and is 35, he has to be a natural born citizen or have been a citizen during the time the constitution was adopted. Somebody please get this through sezmos skull....

Someone get it through this guy's skull that the rules of the constitution where written in perpetuity making his at the time of argument in valid, that the constitution states born here OR be a legal citizen living here for fourteen years. That his argument would invalidate the entire constitution because everything in it applies to at the time it was written and now, that this section never had any amendments, and that the phrase at the time of writing means that it takes effect immediately not that it dosent stay in effect perpetually.

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.

The Qualifications Clause set forth in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 requires the President to be a natural-born citizen, at least thirty-five years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least fourteen years.1
Like the age requirements for membership in the House of Representatives2 and the Senate,3 the age requirement for the presidency set forth at Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 ensures that persons holding the office of President will have the necessary maturity for the position as well as sufficient time in a public role for the electorate to be able to assess the merits of a presidential candidate.4 In his Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Justice Joseph Story stated: Considering the nature of the duties, the extent of the information, and the solid wisdom and experience required in the executive department, no one can reasonably doubt the propriety of some qualification of age.5
The Framers appear to have adopted the requirement that citizens be natural born citizens to ensure that the President’s loyalties would lie strictly with the United States. By barring naturalized citizens from the presidency, the requirement of being a natural born citizen, as Justice Story explained, protects the United States from ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interposes a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections, which have inflicted the most serious evils upon the elected monarchies of Europe.6 Article II, however, provided an exception for foreign-born persons who had immigrated to the colonies prior to the adoption of the Constitution.7 Justice Story explained that this was done out of respect to those distinguished revolutionary patriots, who were born in a foreign land, and yet had entitled themselves to high honors in their adopted country.8
While the Constitution does not define natural born Citizen, commentators have opined that the Framers would have understood the term to mean someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization

I happen to be a revolutionary patriot so it would be a total shame if musk even got Clarence to run for president and his paperwork was approved.

What's that even mean? Silly meaningless titles don't validate your position. Clarence? What would Clarence have to do with Musk running for president? Unless his running mate was Clarence Thomas maybe? Oh you meant the word clearance and spelled it badly, it wouldn't be a shame at all, by the constitutions standard Musk has earned the right to run. The language is clear, I'm right and you are wrong, and your desperation is starting to show.

Auto correct clearance lol but sure leave it to that guy to make it happen.

Or maybe it's one big sale who will be the next non born citizen who lives outside America most of the time traveling. By that no modern day president could actually be president because they haven't spent 5,110 consecutive days living in America straight.

I'm sorry but he's a naturalized citizen and there for barred. That is crystal clear. Quote "The Framers appear to have adopted the requirement that citizens be natural born citizens to ensure that the President’s loyalties would lie strictly with the United States. By barring naturalized citizens from the presidency, the requirement of being a natural born citizen, as Justice Story explained, protects the United States from ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interposes a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections, which have inflicted the most serious evils upon the elected monarchies of Europe.6 Article II, however, provided an exception for foreign-born persons who had immigrated to the colonies prior to the adoption of the Constitution."

That's one person's interpretation. At any time however things could change we've seen our constitution be changed, and corrupted by interpretation many times already. So it is possible for the clause to be interpreted a different way and challenged in court.

That person is a judge with many years of deciphering the constitution and using it in the court of law. With many years of education, and the ability to read and logically understand what the framers of the constitution wrote. My suggestion get a copy of the federalist papers and spend your free time reading it.

bruh trump ran our country right. gas was low. prices on everything was lower. we had a wall being built to stop a f**king invasion. he was setting us up to truly make america great again. the election was stolen and rigged.
1 up, 8mo
Yeah see you can't give trump all the credit every president inherits the mistakes and triumphs of the president before. Clinton had gas down to
.98 cents a gallon in his time, bin laden was found and killed under Obama's term. Walls don't do shit except look impressive to voters in this day and age. Plus more bodies creates more debt which the government wants so no one ever really attempts to stop immigration. Eisenhower tried and it was a disaster for the economy. No one has made a serious effort since then. This country relies on immigrant labor and birth rates. The situation abroad was deteriorating no matter what Trump did. So like every president Trump has his triumphs and failures.
