Were all four of your grandparents born in America?

Ann Coulter's voting rights rule.

If only people with at least 4 grandparents born in America were voting, Trump would win in a 50-state landslide.

That would exclude a very large part of the Hispanic vote, but very little of the black vote and none of the Hillbilly and DAR vote.

She might be right.

Hmm.

I'm pretty sure my mother's parents were both born in the US, though likely some or all of their parents were not.

Everybody who would know is dead, so I can't ask whether both of my father's parents were born in the US.

And I don't recall, and am unsure whether I ever knew.

Both were already dead by my early childhood, and their siblings did not much outlast them.

Either or both of them might have been born in Canada.

Jake Tapper's tweet is a marvel of the sudden and stupid non-sequitur.

But then Trump couldn't run, since his mom and paternal grandparents weren't born in the US. So, um, yeah. 

She said nothing about qualifications for the office.

Nor did she say anything about the definition of citizenship, though that appears to be the connection he made in his head.

No idea why.

There have always been and still are citizens who cannot vote, such as children, felons in some states, the mentally incompetent, and up to about a century ago women.

But none of that affects whether you can stand as a candidate, anyway.

Would Ann Coulter have been able to vote?
