By the way, this case cannot win. I’m pretty sure it’s solid tradition for all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of dual citizenship, to be considered U.S. citizens at birth.

You're correct about the automatic granting of US citizenship, but that's not what this case is about. It's about Natural Born Citizenship

There is a great deal of difference. Only a Natural Born Citizen can become President. For that, you have to be born on US soil, to two US parents.

So yes, the case IS going somewhere. Justice Thomas would not have taken it otherwise.

Where did you get your definition of Natural Born Citizen?

I found this at http://grou.ps/zapem that’s been covering the Donofrio v. Wells case from NJ that has now made it to the United States Supreme Court. They will decide on 12/5 if they intend to hear the case against McCain, Obama and Calero as being ineligible for the POTUS per the US Constitution.

Apparently they’re having a vigil at the courthouse that on friday. I doubt it will be on the news though. None of this has been. Well, the Star Ledger did want an interview with Donofrio. I haven’t heard anything about that yet. Will check. Here’s the link for the vigil.

What law says that? It certainly isn't defined that way in the COTUS.

Obama’s mother was under 21 when he was born and his father was not a US citizen. That’s why he’s not a natural born citizen.

And where is that defined by law exactly?

“There is a great deal of difference. Only a Natural Born Citizen can become President. For that, you have to be born on US soil, to two US parents.”

I don’t know about the two parents part. I always thought being born on U.S. soil was enough. I mean, children born on U.S. soil are citizens, right? And if they’re citizens at the time they’re born, I’m pretty sure that means they’re natural born citizens.
