"This is because no one outside of birtherdom believes the the crackpot theory for a child to be a NBC that requires both parents to be US citizens if the child is born in the US. Citizenship of the parents only comes into play if the child is born outside the US. That is why none of the proposed bills in the state legislatures do not address your issue, but rather just address the requirement for a birth certificate. Can you tell me the name a single Congressman, Senator or conservative legal scholar who agrees with you?"

"Crackpot theory?" You've not read your history, new FRiend. Heard of one, congressman John Bingham, for but one example?

In any event, some information...

John Bingham??? Can you find someone who at least was breathing in the last century. If that is your best answer, I now understand why birthers have lost over 80 cases. My favorite justice on SCOTUS is Scalia who has stated on several occasions that last thing he looks to when trying to interpret a statute is to look at legislative intent. Realistically, if the the birthers wish to gain any traction for their pet issue, they are going to have to get someone, a Representative or Senator, with authority to issue subpoenas and hold hearings, to push the issue. Otherwise, it will never become more than spam on the internet.
