It is very annoying to see US citizenship cheapened by the Marxists running our government and courts. Natural Born Citizen used to mean two (not same sex) US citizen parents and born in the USA. Exceptions being diplomatic core and military. That of course was back in the day when it was illegal in the USA to have dual citizenship. I miss our pre LBJ country, sad to see that now anyone born anywhere with a parent claiming to be American citizen can stand for the presidency. This is not going to end well.

What you stated as the good old days was never true. Citizenship status was dealt with in the first Congress, by the same men who wrote and ratified the Constitution. There are two types of citizens, natural and naturalized. Natural as defined by the same men who wrote the Constitution is citizen from birth. What you describe has never been the case in the United States from 1789 till present.
