Lets talk about this. Archie, son of US Citizen mother, Rachel Meghan Markle and Prince Harry of Wales, is 7th in line for the British Crown and ALSO a US Citizen.

2) The other day on the radio I heard some talk show host say that Archie would be in line for the British Crown, AND would be eligible for POTUS. I thought WOW what a teaching moment this is

3) Archie would indeed be a US Citizen by 8 USC 1401(g).

4) Markle has not yet attained UK Citizenship

5) As you know the requirements for POTUS are that he be 13 years resident, 35 years old and a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN (A2S1C5)

6) Natural born Citizens are held by the SCOTUS to be defined as one born in the US to US citizen PARENTS. The reason is for national security- prevention of foreign influence into the office of POTUS and CIC of US Armed Forces.

7) See also Federalist 68, that the child not have an "IMPROPER ASCENDANT".
"ASCENDANT" means both "influence" and "parent". IMPROPER ASCENDANT = "The improper influence of a foreign parent" (SEE 5th paragraph, and the context)

8) Now it gets really interesting. You know who else became a US Citizen by the same statute (8 USC 1401(g))?

This guy:

9) Yes that is correct. Ted Cruz was born with the same citizenship status is Archie, son of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and 7th in line for the British Crown. OOPS Ted. This is precisely the result that the framers were excluding from the Presidency.

10) If Prince Archie cannot be POTUS then neither can @tedcruz because the framers prevented naturalized US Citizens, which may have foreign allegiances from birth to foreign parents or in a foreign country from becoming POTUS.
SEE Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167 (1875)

11) SEE page 167

12) See ALSO Wong Kim Ark Page 655, 679, 680, 693
169, US 649, 655, 679, 680, 693 (CITING Minor v. Happersett 24 years later, that natural born Citizen are b. in US of US Citizen parents.

13) @tedcruz says he's a "Constitutional Scholar", yet he ran for POTUS illegally. I judge him by his actions, and NOW it becomes clear that there is no way that he is an eligible natural born Citizen because he has the same citizenship status as the possible King of England. END

So if the idiot radio hosts are correct, then Archie could establish residence in the US, by age 22, and be eligible to Run for POTUS when he becomes 35.
