That would apply to my son. He is 'native born' because he was born in the US, but not "natural born" because his dad is Canadian. He is not eligible for President. I am "natural born" citizen because both of my parents were born on American soil, as was I.
Maybe I'll run next time. :-)
We obviously need for the Supreme Court to review this area of the Constitution and issue a clarifying judgment. There is just so much confusion over what ought to be a fairly straight-forward thing.
It would seem to me, that in the interest of simplicity, and to bring our practices in alignment with the thinking of the Founders and the Constitution, that it should be clearly stated (finally) that a Natural Born Citizen, is defined as any person born on US soil to two parents who were themselves born on US soil.
In addition, it should be stated that those parents can not have not renounced their US citizenship, and should have lived within US territorial jurisdiction for a specified period of time prior to the birth of the child.
In addition, the SC ought to clear up the mis-interpretation of the 14th Amendment as it regards the automatic granting of US citizenship to children born of foreign nationals on US soil.
This is an abomination, and has gone on far too long. It is a long-term threat to to our national security, as it has encouraged and enabled the establishment of what can be rightly described as a foreign "nation" within the confines of the continental US. This simply cannot be in accordance with what the Founders intended for the future of our country.
We truly need some clarity on the entire issue of US citizenship.
