I am fairly slow to understand the logic of How a president's eligibility could be limited by whether a candidate was born overseas.
Sometimes, her/his parents were serving overseas for their country honourbly and patriotically as ambassadors, generals, soldiers, security staffers, defense officers, interpreters, medical doctors, nurses, intelligence officers, professors, UN officials, researchers in north/south poles, international volunteering engineers, peacebuilding staff, humanitarian aid workers/pilots, etc. etc.
Many of them even risk their own life - probably daily!
PS: All other civilian works should be evaluated equally admirable/invaluable!

Some questions:
1. Set example: His daughter now learned hitting others is somehow OK, subject to certain conditions. What are the conditions? Who decides the conditions? Are the conditions objective? Or subjective?
2. Is it legally OK, hitting one's own child? Do you feel happy when a teacher , or an unknown person, hitting your child, for whatever reasons? If not, ...
3. How about if hitting another person's child, for wanting to educate the child something just you like? OK or not? If not, why not?
4. If a believer says OK to hit one's own child because the Bible says so, then how about the Bible also says a lot of things about love, patience, consideration, passionate, peace, joy, education by setting example, sharing responsibility, etc. etc.
5. How young or how old a parent should be still allowed to hit a child? Who decides the age threshold - hitting is OK until age 3, the parents? Why age 3, why not age 13 or 30?
6. How about individual child's response psychologically? Perhaps not even a child professional, medical/psychological, can easily ascertain the long term and short term effects affecting the child hit by parents!
7. How about your child mentioning/reporting your hitting to her/his teacher, a social worker, a police, a judge, ...? Teach/instruct her/him not to mention/report anything to anyone, right? Or denying any hitting, a lie?
8. ...
9. ...
No wonder so many wars, ciolences, etc still exist in the world nowadays!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence_against_women
Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, declared in a 2006 report posted on the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) website that:
Violence against women and girls is a problem of pandemic proportions. At least one out of every three women around the world has been beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime with the abuser usually someone known to her.[5]

Please give it a rest. We're not condoning beating the crap out of your kid. But spanking is a part of healthy child rearing. I had to spank my child, I don't know, maybe three times? And when I use the word "spank", I mean a smack to the butt once when he did something particularly bad, after I had warned him not to several times (for safety's sake). After that, I never had to do it again because he knew I would do it if I had to. Speak softly, carry a big stick, so to speak.
You crazies out there painting this to the equivalent of kicking the shit out of your child are just that - crazy.
I don't know how many alternatives creatively (perhaps unlimited) would be available/learned (from other practitioners or specialists/ professionals) as better options and tried each one of all of them with enough attempts, before physical punishment as the last resort is "Forced" to actually carry out.
Was it due to my own anger so I want to quickly make the last resort working well as expected?
Did I explain or educate the child not to do the wrongdoing beforehand?
Nowadays not even any civil court would implement physical punishment on adults! Why on kids?
I rest my case!
Worth not even 2 cents!

Physical punishment on adults isn't - in any way - comparable to child rearing.
I question those here who advocate no corporal punishment (spanking), if they have ever raised a child?
