His mother was a jackal.

But he's over 35 and he was born in the U.S.!

I am pretty sure that if you have an american parent it matters not a whit if
you were born in the USA -- you are a citizen and can be President.

I don't think Satan or the Jackal were American citizens. He was only running for President because everyone who knew the truth was dead.

"I am pretty sure that if you have an american parent it matters not a whit if
you were born in the USA -- you are a citizen and can be President. "

The law apparently demands that the president be born in the US and becomes a citizen that way. Having american parents is not enough.  The law isn't interpreted too strictly, though. McCain, for instance isn't born in the US, but in Panama. However, he was born there because his father was a US military officer stationed there, and I would think it unethical and offensive if the children of US military personnel stationed abroad were somehow to be excluded from the presidency because of their parents' service to their country.

I think its the kind of law where people sometimes find it more convenient to not pick at it, since if it is challenged,  the Supreme court might come back with the "wrong" clarifications. (I.e. undesirable clarifications)
