On another note, if we accept that Barry is a NBC even if his father was a British citizen at the time of his birth, does this mean that Marco Rubio (parents from Cuba and may or may not have been citizens at the time of his birth, and Bobby Jindal (parents from India, not citizens at the time of his birth)will not have a problem with this issue if either one of them decides to run for the presidency?

I don't know, and the fact that the birth circumstances of those two US citizens raises questions just further illustrates the fact that "Natural Born Citizen" has not been clearly defined legally.

Like so many other areas of the Constitution, NBC is not clearly defined enough to settle all questions of all possible birth circumstances, either in the Constitution or in case law.

People need to stop pretending that it is. And, again, it is beyond absurd for anyone to say that Obama was ineligible because Obama, Sr. was not a US citizen: something that has been known and claimed by Obama from the beginning.
