No. A person can be natural born to many many countries. It all depends on the rules set out by the country. If I’m running a country I could declare all blonds natural born citizens of my country. And then a blond born to American parents in America would be a natural born citizen of both America and Wigitland. Multi-citizenship can happen pretty easily if you have a complicated birthing situation (parents of 2 nationalities born in a 3rd place, throw in some revolutions and some Right to Return it can be a serious soup) or “qualify” under odd laws in other countries.

If one of your parents is American when you’re born you’re American. It’s not tough. The Birthers decided to try to over complicate the situation. But it’s pretty cut and dry. Obie qualifies, and so does Cruz. They might ALSO qualify for other countries, but that doesn’t matter.

But how do they qualify to be citizens?

Actually, the “Birthers” proffer the easiest to understand meaning of Natural Born Citizen.

When a Wigitland Citizen male and Wigitland Citizen female have a Child born within the borders of Wigitland, That Child is a Natural Born Citizen of Wigitland. How could the Child be a Citizen of any other Country at the moment of Birth???

What you describe are rules for dual Citizens. Both of my Parents were Citizens of a European Country. I was born in North America. I can file to obtain Citizenship of that European Country, as I am grandfathered, and they cash my annual fee payment. That does not change the fact I have affinity for this Country, not some Country in Europe

You do not need any man made rules, tiebreakers, minimum age to confer Citizenship, minimum years in Country, Babies born in international airways or waterways, naturalization tests, definitions of terms and words, laws of soil, laws of blood, Colonies, etc.

Yeah, don’t pay any attention to the laws that were in force at the time of Obama’s birth.
