The Supreme Court said otherwise. NBC is defined OUTSIDE the Constitution. Citizen at birth is a different type of citizenship, defined ONLY by the 14th amendment, and it does NOT make one eligible for president.

Starting at post #76 when he began chiming in, of the 63 posts put up after that point, 45 are Kansas58 hyperventilating about the supposed fallacy of the two-parent NBC line of reasoning. That is a staggering 71.4% of all comments from that point on. Spam much?

I don't need Vattel, English Common Law or any esoteric historical citations to argue the two-parent citizen paradigm. All that's needed is a simple exercise in logic with the founders' concerns about divided loyalties as its starting point:

Of the two, which logically is to be presumed to be apt to have a stronger sense of loyalty to one's country, a person born of two citizen parents, or one with a father who never had any allegiance whatsoever to said country?

I believe what we're witnessing under an "Obama" pResidency serves as a perfect illustration of the realization of the founders' fears regarding divided loyalties in the CIN of our armed forces.
