Anyone who reads Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution, however, can make that case in less than a minute.

However birthers only started making that case in late 2008 after the "born in Kenya" nonsense didn't gain any traction. If the requirement was for 2 citizen parents at birth then we should have heard that argument in February 2007 when he declared his candidacy.

That's not true. I was here at the very beginning of that controversy, and the point that Obama isn't NBC was being made on Free Republic from the outset.

In fact, the whole born in Kenya thing wasn't even created on the right. That was a talking point that burrowed its way in from the left. The infection even took root here.

FewsOrange:
Windflier and SatinDoll are absolutely correct. The "both parents" argument was made long before the election.
