re: #22 Boondock St. Bender

Sure he was unarguably a citizen but not born in a “state”. Hey I do hope a court would have ruled him good to run, but if one takes a strict look at the statute, well it says United States. Silent on territory. They passed a law to cover panama, I found nothing like that about territories or Guam if anyone from there ever runs. . Maybe a territory counts as a possession of the US and that would do it.

What if someone from American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or Puerto Rico runs? Might be interesting in a legal sense.
