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.

No, show me the language that states that the only natural born citizens are those with two US citizen parents. It is not defined in such limited language anywhere. I am not sure how to prove a negative. Show me the proof of a case that says ONLY two citizen parents = NBC. It hasn’t been stated, as anyone on these boards will tell you. There is a good chance that that is what the founders meant, but that is not explicitly stated. Sorry. That is what everyone on both sides is annoyed about. The USSC needs to make a definitive ruling one way or another.
