Two classes of citizens - natural born and naturalized.

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?!?!?!??!

Great post. Brilliantly illustrated.

Just because someone came up with a neat-looking chart doesn't mean it's correct.

In any of my readings I've never read anything that said the parents of the President had to be citizens too. Never. Until a certain man was running for President. There are lots of old law books out there, some of them you can download from Google, law books from before the 1920’s. I've not found one to support the “parents must be citizens” concept. It's not in the Constitution, it's not in the Federalist Papers. Maybe there's some old law book that has this doctrine in it. If someone found it I could stop believing that this doctrine is an Internet hoax, the result of the desire to exclude a certain person from the Presidency on the part of many well-meaning but wrong fellow citizens.

I wish this doctrine were true and we could get rid of a certain individual as President. I also wish that I had a billion dollars and my own mansion on my own private island in the Caribbean.
