That is, a president born when his or her parents were not married.
A lot of people being born these days are bastards.
Could a candidate's bastardism be relevant?
Are any of the contenders for 2016 bastards?
I don't see it being a problem considering that we already(kind of) have had two if not more "bastard" Presidents.
Clinton and Obama jump right to right to mind since their biological fathers were not involved in their lives.
Although I don't know if any of the 2016 contenders for ether parties would qualify for that definition.
Clinton's father died before he was born. I don't know if that counts as a bastard.
No, I don't think it would.
I believe Obama's parents were married when he was born, but not when he was conceived. Though, yeah, that wouldn't make him a bastard either.
