Political Factoid
The U.S. Constitutional
requirement . . .
is that the president must not
only be an American citizen,
but he or she must also be
a natural-born American.
This has not slowed anyone from
running for president who met the
"shirttail" of that requirement.*
- Barry Goldwater
- George Romney
- Lowell Weicker
- John McCain
- Ted Cruz
... and all of them Republicans

e.g., they each had de facto citizenship,
and did not need to go through formal
naturalization, albeit they had not been
born in one of the united states
