Not when it pertains to meeting the eligibility requirements for President it doesn't.

Two classes of citizens - natural born and naturalized. To be naturalized you have to fulfill certain requirements in the naturalization laws and take an oath. Naturalized citizens do not qualify under Article II to become President. Natural born do. All natural born citizens have equal rights under the Fourteenth Amendment. Which includes the right to become President. You're born in the U.S., you're natural born.

That's the way the law has read from 1788. For over 220 years. With no distinction made for qualification for the Presidency. I can understand the desire that Obama be removed somehow from the Presidency, but I'm not going to throw the rule of law under the bus. The wacky Internet law theories will never make it into court, except to be thrown out immediately. Recognize that. Why? Because the wacky Internet law theories have never been the law.

Actually the constitution mentions FIVE classes of citizen. More Here

You seem to be confusing 'natural born' with 'native' born or just plan 'born citizen'.

For your scenario to be accurate the following scenario applies:

2 Pakistani muslems - a man and his pregnant wife with terrorist connections come to the U.S. so that the wife may give birth to a U.S. citizen. Following the birth the couple returns to Pakistan to raise the child into a jihadist terrorist supporting anti-american madrassa. At adulthood the 'manchurian' adult U.S. citizen returns to the U.S., goes to school, and lives in the U.S. for a period of time designated by the constitution then at age 35 runs for President as a 'natural born' citizen. Goal? To undermine the U.S. from WITHIN.

Do you honestly believe our Founding Fathers WERE THAT STUPID?!?!?!??!
