“because his fathers British Nationality ‘governed’ his birth status in 1961,

You don’t know the meaning of the word ‘governed’. Putting it in single quotes doesn’t make some magical definition for it.

Two Americans abroad give birth to a US citizen. Trying to redefine “natural” is also a stupid blunder by people trying to sound intelligent.

Hmmm. Why did Obama feel compelled to state that his birth status was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 rather than the 14th Amendment?

Correct, but that citizenship is obtained by statute rather than under the 14th Amendment. See my post @214 for the details of the following statement: According to the State Dept., statutory citizenship at birth may not be equivalent to natural-born citizenship obtained under the U.S. Constitution on U.S. soil. Statutory citizens at birth may not be eligible for the presidency. The courts have never ruled on it.

No two anything can give birth. An individual female being in the mammalian category gives birth.

You imply there already is already a definition of ‘natural’, in the context of birth I assume. What references do you use as there appears to many takes on what the term means.
