Some candidates for president were born outside the United States, but still qualified because their parents were U.S. citizens. (If one or both parents is a U.S. citizen, so is the child, regardless of where they were born.) Examples include Ted Cruz (born in Canada), John McCain (born in the Panama Canal Zone), and George Romney (who vied for the Republican nomination against Nixon in 1968; Romney was born in Mexico to U.S. citizen parents--and yes, George Romney was the father of Mitt Romney, though Mitt was born in the United States).
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
- Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
