Any person who becomes a citizen at the moment of birth is a Natural Born Citizen.

A Naturalized Citizen can not become President.

Only a Natural Born Citizen can be President.

We all know this.

However, YOUR small group of Birthers wants to redefine the term “Natural Born Citizen”.

Such is your A Naturalized Citizen can not become President.
I agree.

Only a Natural Born Citizen can be President.
Thank you! Why the obfuscation? (we'll get back to this after I post this reply)

The term “Natural Born Citizen” is already defined and "my side" wants to uphold that definition of the term. Your side is the side wishing to redefine the term “Natural Born Citizen”.

As to the size of a group being of significance...

It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. Samuel Adams

You say in reply #75 - A President MUST be a Citizen from the moment of birth.

You say in reply #87 - A Natural Born Citizen is any Citizen who is not a Naturalized Citizen.

And you finally admit in reply #87 that Only a Natural Born Citizen can be President.

You say that all "citizens" are natural born citizens from the moment of their birth. (reply #82 - Of course.)

So how does a child, though born a citizen, become a natural born citizen.

This is false. If he becomes a citizen at birth solely through the operation of a statute, he is a naturalized citizen. Congress may only pass statutes to naturalize people, and may not redefine what is a natural born citizen.

Hope this helps.
