I disagree.. you are natural born if you are born to a citizen parent (after 1972) regardless of where you are born. Part of the reason this clause was even added was probably to protect the citizen children of diplomats and soldiers overseas.
For example, at the time this was promulgated Thomas Jefferson was ambassador in France: If his wife (or Sally Hemmings) had a child while there, they would be ‘natural born citizens.’
Yeh, well, Teddy aint the Supremes.

Maybe, but she’s been a citizen of the US for 51 years and a over or of her home state. Pretty sure she’s got solid American loyalty, but if you want to doubt that, go ahead. I’m of German heritage and proud of it……but I don’t want dual citizenship.
Or are they'll still busy trying to remove Obama from office?
yes exactly of course Obama also got in when state secretaries let him in and the USSC shirked their duty
lots of info on where a person is born. I disagree since they don’t support the citizen of the parents plenty of counter argument some posted on this thread.
Otherwise, the bastard offspring of sailors visiting ports or Kenyan students would be "natural born" citizens.
Notice that this question is asked only about Republicans. It will be brought up again the moment Ted Cruz announces.
When it’s about obammy, every member of the leftist media is sworn to never ask the question.
After 1972. Seriously??? There has not been one law, statute or supreme setting precedent to alter what constitutes ‘natural born citizenship’. The founding fathers gave NONE power or authority to alter the literal meaning…
Again since the garden party humanity has seen fit to make changes that fit their own personal narrative..
Blah, blah, blah....
I do not know why people get so hung up on the NBC issue. Not even our founding fathers who wrote the Constitution clearly understood what they were thinking they wanted to do. So an Amendment was necessary. (14th)
And does anyone know how many challenges there were to BHO’s candidacy? 30? 40? More?
The answer is more. Over 50. And not one single case prevailed.
Whether it be Obama, McCain, Cruz, Kamala, Haley or whoever....
If you are an American citizen - you can be president.
Harvard is woke.. check out what goes for medical school education.
And this goes without saying that she'd get trounced just as solidly as Lyn' Ted and Little Marco. Her candidacy is simply DOA.
Somrone born in USA is not necessarily a natural born citizen, even if ( as is usually the case) they’re American citizens.
The term natural born citizen is a legal term of many centuries’ scholarship. And It definitely does involve parental citizenship.
Fyi.
The reason I put that addendum in is because the law was changed on conveyance of citizenship by birth... before 1972 citizenship was only conferred to children born of males overseas... after 1972 it applied also to females overseas who give birth. This mirrored changes in British law. It is also the #1 reason no one wanted to touch the issues over Obama’s ‘natural’ born citizenship.. he was born before 1972 and his father was a British subject.
“If you are an American citizen - you can be president.”
No. Arnold Schwarzenegger can never be president even though he is a citizen.
And we do need to figure this out, otherwise will have some spawn of an Islamic Cult parent, born in the US, raise in some cesspool country, but somehow the next Obama running for president.
I showed this to my BFF, Squeeky, and she just shook her head in dismay. Why is it, that your parents simply being in the country legally, when you are born here, is all that it takes to be “natural born”. Unless your parents are here as part of a diplomatic mission - why is that concept causes two-citizen parent Birthers to go all bonkers??? 14 years after Obama, and numerous court cases, and detailed analyis of Wong Kim Ark - and still the Birthers continue to birf???
I think that it is a form of insanity, or mental illness. Thank goodness none of these people are in charge of naval vessels, with guns and rockets and missiles and torpedoes and stuff! Think of the damage such a kook could do! Oh wait. . . EEEEEKKK! Duck and cover!
Cite the ‘law’ or supreme precedent.. did not happen!
