I know that there is a difference between the requirements of security clearances and President. President “requires” that they be a Natural Born Citizen which even the Supreme Court has said is two citizen parents born on the soil.

That is simply not true. You can make an argument that's what they should have said, or that they have suggested that's what they might have said had the issue been presented squarely. But there is no informed argument that the Supreme Court has ever held as you claim.

If that's the level of your expertise on this, I'll just leave you to your opinion.

Not my opinion:

Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874)

and

” ‘The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority; they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.’ ” Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393, 476 (1856)

Why do you even bother trying to reason with birthers? Nothing will ever change their mind, neither facts nor the truth. Let them enoy birther land.
