Is Orly Taitz a US citizen? Don't you have to be to run for public office?

[baldguy]

I want her to prove it.

1. Aaaahnold was born in Austria, so apparently no, you don't have to

be a US citizen to be SOS.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. But Arnold is an American Citizen now.

[KingFlorez]

3. I've read that her status is bit dodgy

I wouldn't be surprised if she wasn't actually a citizen.

4. Don't you have to be a citizen to be a member of the bar? n/t

5. Where's your birth certificate, Oily?!1!!

:puke:

[Ken Burch]

6. I want to see Orly's birth certificate.

NOT because I think she's not a citizen...because I think she's a space alien.

7. No, you don't have to be a US citizen to run for public office. Jennifer Granholm is Canadian. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

8. Jennifer Granholm is a Canadian-born American citizen

She became a US citizen in 1980.

9. Oh-ok. Then she's not a "natural born" citizen which is why she can't run for President.

Thanks. :hi:

[Brother Buzz]

12. She was born C-section?

;)

[jenmito]

13. No...

she was hatched. :)

[kestrel91316]

19. Yes. You. Do. - American civics FAIL.

[HooptieWagon]

10. US citizen? Hell, I want proof she's actually human.

14. There you go - letting the facts get in the way.

It was a fun fantasy while it lasted :)

[caraher]

15. Facts are irrelevant!

The whole point is to Orly Taitz Orly Taitz! Make her prove she's a citizen, then doggedly insist every proof is fake, in the face of any and all evidence to the contrary!

[emilyg]

17. My bad - will

you forgive me - purty pleaze.

[rug]

18. I think she's Transnistrian.

We need to see the proof.

[jwirr]

16. Pugs do not like immigrants - both Arnold and Orly are immigrants. nt

[bigwillq]

20. I still don't know who this Orly Taitz person is

I have refrained from Googling Taitz, and, despite seeing this name a lot on DU, and even clicking on a thread or two on this subject (even though I didn't read much), I still don't know who this person is. I think I am better off. HA! :)

[caraher]

22. She's a dentist/lawyer hero to the "birthers"

She's been behind frivolous court actions challenging Obama's eligibility to be present on the basis that they believe he was really born in Kenya and don't accept the validity of his birth certificate.

[bigwillq]

24. Thank you

for ruining it for me! :P :rofl: Ok, yup, don't need to know whow she is. Just another hack.

21. I'm pretty sure that rule only applies to running for US president

Regardless, Taitz is losing her bid for CA SOS:

23. I correct myself

I replied without fully reading the OP question. In order to run for president, one must be born in the US. As far as public office is concerned, I'm pretty sure most of the positions require that the candidate be a citizen of this country. As I recall, Ms. Taitz applied for citizenship after she married an American.

Oh, and she totally lost her race in the GOP SOS primary. Lost, lost, lost, big, big, big.

[msanthrope]

25. You don't need to be born in the US to be eligible for

the presidency. See, John McCain.

You need to be a non-naturalized citizen.

26. My head hurts

And I am very tired.
