You have no law whatsoever and no SCOTUS decision to back up this myth. See http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1401.html.

You keep harping on this page referencing the US Code, so where is the term "NATURAL BORN" in this? Probably the same place the "RIGHT TO PRIVACY" is located in the Constitution - nowhere! Yet Roe vs. Wade was decided on what is - dare I say it - a MYTH!

The fact remains that the Founding Fathers created a unique citizenship requirement for the office of the President, and a dual-citizen - one with possibly divided allegiances - cannot possibly be in line with their intentions to qualify as a NBC. Original Intent is EXTREMELY important! I really don't buy your arguments (see post here for more info on Vattel and Franklin): Constitution's "Natural Born Citizen" defined by Vattal's "Law of Nations"

So you think someone who is a “citizen at birth” is an alien? You know that makes no sense. How can you defend such an irrational and ludicrous position?

Ask any U.S. ex-pat who married a European and lives in France today whether her children, born in Paris, are natural born U.S. citizens or not. Do it. They are.

Ask any U.S. citizen born in the U.S. of non-citizen parents if they are natural born citizens. They are.
Call the State Department yourself. Ask them.
