[Conscience of a Conservative]

Hardly, when it comes to being born by a father who passes one's citizenship to the child. That competing allegiance is exactly and explicitly what the framers and founders sought to avoid.

Once again: Yes, they sought to avoid competing allegiances, but they did so by ensuring that the President was born a citizen of this country.

You have still yet to cite anything suggesting that there has ever been a third "type" of citizen.

You have not read what I have cited. Read what BP2 posted, then read Tucker said -- and Bingham in the article which starts this thread.

They are both utterly clear: 1. born in the nation and, 2. born of an American citizen father.

You have still yet to cite anything suggesting that there has ever been a third "type" of citizen.

Your source Jill Pryor just created one out of the thin air over Yale Law School:

"As historical and textual analysis has shown, a citizen may be both "naturalized" and "natural born." Under the naturalized born approach, any person with a right to American citizenship under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States at the time of his or her birth is a natural-born citizen for purposes of presidential eligibility."

What, in God's name, is a naturalized born citizen???? Are you guys for real???
