My son was born in Ukraine, but can never be a US President

according to our Constitution. I've come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter where you are born. The internet and Trump are a whole lot more dangerous than my son.

Did you give birth to him in Ukraine or adopt? Cruz was born in Canada and the reps had no problem with it since his biological mother was born here...even though the dad was Cuban and I think the mom was giving up her citizenship and voted in Canadian elections.

They make up different rules for themselves. Just have him run as a republican.

He is a dual citizen until he turns 18. He was born in Ukraine and his birth mom and dad relinquished rights. My husband (now deceased) and I traveled to Ukraine to adopt a child. We had no idea we would adopt our son until we found him in Pryluky. We both fell so hard, we couldn't leave him in that orphanage.

proven innocent. Very strange land we live in today. Franken, the FBI and Mueller are great examples that it is now so.

but, I do believe that some democrats have let us down, and I worry that we are playing into the republican's hands.

We need to remember what and who we are about, without going over board.
