The problem is that it is not clear what constitutes proof of being a “Natural Born Citizen”. Do both parents really have to be citizens? What if you’re born on U.s. soil, but spent your whole childhood growing up in another country? Who has the authority to define the term? Who has the obligation to enforce the rule? Is it each State, or is it the FEC? Are there penalties for some Party declaring the legitimacy of a candidate, only to find they knowingly lied about it?
