That person was talking out their arse.
If Marco Rubio or Bobby Jindal tries to run for POTUS I will oppose them just as stridently. If you don’t like the constitution the way it is, then change it. In the mean time, you have to be a Natural Born Citizen and we have been over and over it. There is NO DOUBT, (some have doubt, but they are WRONG), that the framers knew very well what a Natural Born Citizen (NOT NATIVE BORN) was and made it a special requirement for president. So that the “Command in Chief” of the army wouldn’t have loyalties to foreign nations like ObOZO does. Born in the USA by 2, (count ‘em) TWO, DEUX, U.S. citizen parentS.

Apparently, that is the only place congressmen can talk from.
That’s what it did mean. That’s what it should mean. But our government at all levels has simply redefined the term out of existence.
And if that doesn’t scare someone, they’re historically illiterate. It is a sure sign of a declining and soon to be tyrannical state.
Maybe we can turn things around. I’m starting to doubt it...
See, that last little point is the tricky one. In common British law at the time, all one required to be natural born citizen was to be born in England and subject to their jurisdiction. The only way you were not a natural born citizen under British common law was if you were born to foreign diplomats, on a foreign ship, or born to foreign parents who were at war with England. That was the majority ruling from The United States vs Wong Kim Ark. The ruling said that the use of natural born citizen, being undefined in the Constitution, must come from English common law. In that, there was no requirement of 2 citizen parents.
