Excellent post. I had not yet read these definitions. What I wrote is wholly consistent with these definitions. It is clear from these definitions that being born on U.S. soil alone is not sufficient to make one a “natural born Citizen” and that being born abroad does not automatically disqualify one from that same status (the foreign birth could be under military circumstances). Putting aside the jurisdictional requirement of the 14th Amendment which is what our Supreme Court has done, it is also clear that being born on U.S. soil alone is sufficient to make one a “native” born citizen. What is also clear from these definitions is that it is the condition of a child being born to “natural born Subjects” (in the plural) that gives that child allegiance to his/her country. Hence, a “natural born Citizen” is such because of being born on U.S. soil to two U.S. citizen parents. Both of these conditions are necessary to be a “natural born Citizen.”

Yes, I agree 100 percent.

However, Hussein will be president because affirmative action requires it, and PC correct pols endorse it.

Just as Barry Bonds will forever have an asterisk next to his name, so too will Hussien have a similar stain.
