"The "natural born citizenship" meaning that BOTH parents are citizens was discussed as least as early as the 3rd of July 2008 on Free Republic."

OK, let's see what you've got:

"To be President one has to be a "native-born citizen" If Obama's Mama gave birth to him in another country then that would make him a "citizen at birth" but not a "native-born citizen" It's worth knowing since its Constitutional and would set precedent that the Libs would love."

Not only am I not seeing a two-citizen-parent requirement there, I'm not seeing any concern about the citizenship of Obama's father, period. I only see someone setting out the standard for Presidential eligibility, and then saying that Obama isn't eligible if born in another country. Nothing about both parents needing to be US citizens.

That’s not an accurate reading. What was your reading comprehension score on your most recent standardized test? And how recent was it? Have you suffered some calamity affecting your intellect since?
