1. Are his parents citizens of the U.S.? n/t

2. why would that matter ?

if he was born in the united states, he is a naturalized citizen and eligible to run, no matter the citizenship or immigration status of his parents.

5. Maybe it would explain why his parents aren't registered.

8. Ramaswamy wiki page does not mention if his parents are citizens

Just that they have been in the US long term; I did look at the footnotes for his parents and they did not have that info.

11. Thanks. I looked too; before I posted the question. n/t

12. I think Vivek mentioned in the debate Wed. evening that "When his mother took

her citizenship exam....".
So his mother is likely a US citizen. Father not mentioned in that regard, as I recall...

10. The issue was his parents being registered, not him.

He was a citizen at birth, not a naturalized citizen. Being born in the U.S. is required to run for President.

3. Can he still vote in

the Republican primary?

4. Just needs to show up to vote in their primary on Tuesday 19 March 2024

6. Then Dems can vote in their primary?

Might be fun.

9. Same date as ours. If I vote in their primary, I'll get offered their ballot for several cycles

7. Remember when Trump's kids couldn't vote

for him in the 2016 NY primary because they weren't registered?

It does seem as if more Republicans don't bother to register or don't bother to vote while proclaiming they are the most patriotic persons out there.
