Show me in the US Constitution where your opinion/position/knowledge is codified that it takes 2 parents that are US Citizens for a newborn to be “Natural Born”.

Lacking that, please provide the relevant US Law(s) passed by Congress and signed by a US President that codifies your understanding/opinion/knowledge that it takes 2 parents that are US Citizens for a newborn to be “Natural Born”.

Lacking that, please point us to the relevant US Supreme Court decision/ruling that proves that it takes 2 parents that are US Citizens for a newborn to be “Natural Born”.

All three questions could be asked in reverse as well. That’s why this is such an important discussion.

It is an important question, but as the law currently stands today, he's eligible, you may argue that the law is unconstitutional from an original intent perspective, but that does not mean he is not eligible.

That can all change with one lawsuit ruled upon by the US Supreme court or one law passed by Congress and signed by Zero.

There is no court decision anywhere since George Washington was President, no precedent anywhere that makes these birther opinions law.

No where. Just gobbledy gook on the internet and from birther mouths. Levin is right, they're nuts.

Cruz was given the birth certificate without needing naturalization. he is a US citizen from birth. He IS a natural born citizen until some idiot birther wins a court case against him.

Good luck with that.......

Lacking all three, go back to English common law for the definition of "natural born citizen" in use at the time that term was included in the Constitution. Did Madison and the rest include that just to exclude naturalized citizens from the presidency, or did they intend to create a third class of citizenship beyond naturalized and at birth?
