Feel free to post it three times, but it isn’t the legal definition of the term. It might be what the founders meant, but they didn’t spell it out, and therefore left it open to interpretation. There has not been a legal definition that the court has ruled definitely on, or this wouldn’t be a question, because everyone would have known for sure that Obama couldn’t have run for president.(And yes, I know there are other things that they didn’t spell out; arms, treason, for example) and it still doesn’t change the fact that there is wiggle room in the definition of NBC. Until the USSC says in unambiguous language who is and who is not a NBC, there is room for argument.

Again, Natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. That is the legal definition of the term, and is the definition that has been used by the Supreme Court in many cases. You claim this is not true-PROVE IT. Point to just one Supreme Court decision, in which it states that a natural born citizen is NOT a child born within our nation to US citizen parents.
