“Both parents must be citizens to qualify as natural born citizen.”

Bizarre and tottally unconnected with actual law.

What is your cite of US law for such a definition?

Any why stop there? Why not insist on a bloodline that goes back to the Mayflower?

I posted this to you once, but apparently you didn't read it. So, again:

Natural Born Citizen - The definition of the term, “natural born citizen”, was entered into the Congressional record of the House on March 9, 1866, in comments made by Rep. John Bingham on the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was the precursor to the Fourteenth Amendment. He repeated Vattel’s definition when he said:

“[I] find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. . . . ” — John A. Bingham, (R-Ohio) US Congressman, March 9, 1866 Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866), Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes (1866).

Any why stop there? Why not insist on a bloodline that goes back to the Mayflower?

LOL ...I didn't live back then and I didn't write any of the Constitution or definitions, I'm giving you info of those who did. Don't get in a snit.
