Can you please state which section of the law specifically states that the father must be a citizen in order to be a "natural born citizen"?
I just did...I posted the text of the 14th Amendment.
That text specifically calls a "person born" in the United States a "citizen", it also calls a person naturalized a "citizen". The Amendment denies the States the power to abridge these citizen's all "privileges or immunities".
So, persons born and naturalized enjoy equal standing under the Constitution...except that naturalized citizens cannot be President. So it stands to reason that if under the 14th Amendment, citizens by geography, and citizens by act of Congress are equal, simply being a person born in the United States does not meet the Constitutional standard of "natural born citizen".
If there was a section of the law detailing such a thing as hat you are asking for, there would be no debate. Lacking that, one must look to the historical records surrounding the composition of the Constitution...the phrase "natural born citizen" must have had a very specific meaning to the Framers, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to include it.
I believe that meaning can be found in Vattel's "Law of Nations", and that a natural born citizen is an individual to whom citizenship is a birthright passed on from his or her parents.
"...why all this effort about the BC?"
I believe it to be a distraction, and a subterfuge.
When he provides that BC, Obama will claim the matter settled, and make a whole lot of people look very foolish, completely avoiding the real issue of his Constitutional eligibility.

Beauseant!
Blue Oyster Cult lyric time:
I’m the Nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time...and then came me
Give him another cig.... tic tic tic
What is truly unquestionable is that impeachment by the House of Representatives and a trial and conviction by the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors are the only constitutional processes that can remove the 44th president from office before next election day.
Both things are equally unquestionable...he is Constitutionally unqualified to hold the office, and his holding the office constitutes a high crime, and as such, he should be impeached and removed from office.

trolls! ;~)
I alone posted the stupid version.
I did it ignorantly and hastily but without malice.
My only concern is that I inadvertently gave the liberal scum more ammo to use against FR.
If I merely screw myself over, I can deal with it.
Screwing over FR is altogether another matter.
*That* is what keeps eating at me.
Ain’t gonna happen.
It’s forever *our* rail, now...:)
“Obamanoid”
What a perfect word for that interminable pain in the ass.
Look at the Clintons' this week both very pro American stance. [Look at the picture of Bill with NK's Leader...all the pictures NO smile whatsoever...he was sending a message to us. Bill is always all smiles in all pictures taken of him...not these pictures.]...tic toc tic toc...it is closer to blowing than most realize...
Oh now, be nice to Swordmaker. He’s just trying to help, lol.
I can’t claim to have originated the neologism, though. All due credit belongs to MHGinTN.
Old “Evening At The Improv” stuff.
First time I saw him...this isn’t all of it and the announcer is annoying but the guy is a shapeshifter....:)

Okay....;]
I meant for *0*....:))
I have visions of the Chief Inspector Dreyfus in Pink Panther, slowly developing more and more tics and quirks as he goes insane.
I try, I try. But none seem to want my latest neologism: prick ... small, irritating nettle.
“Both things are equally unquestionable...he is Constitutionally unqualified to hold the office, and his holding the office constitutes a high crime, and as such, he should be [impeached] *arrested* and removed from office.”
There. Fixed it.
Only actual Presidents can be impeached. Imposters and usurpers need to be arrested and charged with crimes.
LIARS, Deceivers...become very very paranoid...and as he loses his popularity...he is so mentally unstable...he’ll crack...
Think of it as somehow part of a divine plan.... I’m not kidding! Your intention was good. And that’s what counts the most.
