"So, yes, according to the current law, your daughter is a natural born citizen. According to the birthers, she's not. The birthers are currently 0-62 in the courtroom. "
Well, there's where I disagree...if she was born on American soil, she is a Natural Born American. My son was born in a U.S. Military Hospital in Germany, but he is also an American, natural born.
The catch with obama is, his mother was a "minor" and lived overseas for a period of time that made his birth in Kenya, to a British subject, natural born British.

You are free to disagree, but you are incorrect. Your son was born in an American Military base, American territory, and because of that and his two Citizen parents he is a Natural Born Citizen. Being born on American soil does NOT automatically confer Natural Born Status and that was decided by Minor v Happersett in 1875 and by U.S. v Wong in 1895. Citizenship yes, but not Natural Born citizenship. The two are not the same.

“The catch with obama is, his mother was a ‘minor’ and lived overseas for a period of time that made his birth in Kenya, to a British subject, natural born British.”
Who said Obama was born in Kenya?
