Natural born citizen is an eligibility requirement to be President of the U.S.A. (A natural born citizen is born in a nation of citizen parents. This is natural law.)

It is NOT a statutory type of citizenship.

The statutory citizenship types can be found below:

USCIS - Citizenship

1) Native born citizenship - born in the United States. Gov. Bobby Jindal was born in Louisiana to parents who were Indian citizens residing in the U.S.A. legally. There are exception to this, such as the children of foreign diplomats and those not in the country legally.

2) Derived citizenship - children born to U.S. citizens in foreign lands “derive” their citizenship from their parents. Sen. John S. McCain was born in Panama to U.S. citizen parents.

3) Naturalized citizenship - foreign born individuals who naturalize as U.S. citizens. Gov. Schwarznegger is a naturalized citizen originally from Austria.

A U.S. Representative or U.S. Senator can be any of the above three and serve in public office.

Only a U.S. President must be both 1) and 2) above to serve as President.

There is no constitutional requirement that one's parents be citizens in order for a person born in the US to be a natural born citizen. There has never been a court ruling on the meaning of Natural born citizen, there is nothing that requires a person to have citizen parents if that person is born in the US. There are only two types of citizens: Naturalized and Natural Born. Natural born also applies to people born in other countries who are born to US citizen parents. This is the only time that a person is required to have US citizen parents in order to be a Natural Born citizen.

If the left tries to make a big deal of this next election season then Bozo will have to resign since he would NOT be(and probably isn't anyway)a Natural Born citizen.
