Let’s be clear...

If you were born in the US, you meet “a” definition of natural born citizen.

I don’t subscribe to that definition, as I believe the Founders original intent was a requirement that both parents must be citizens. A point that has been aptly demonstrated on manyu of these threads.

If not “clearly” defined, then you must look to the original intent.

That “Clearly Defined on these threads” definition is just plain wrong. I suggest you consult with some legal scholars about what the “intent” of the founders was. All the controversy over Obama wasn’t about his parents citizenship,it was about whether or not he was born in the U.S. (Hawaii). That’s is why the “Birth Certificate Issue’ is at the heart of the argument. Anybody who tries to push the “parents citizenship argument” will get tossed out of court before they can file the papers.

“If not “clearly” defined....”

It has been clearly defined by Justice Grey in Minor v Happersett, and reinforced in numerious USSC rulings since.
