Welcome to FR.
The definition of Natural Born Citizen is at the core of the issue.
Birthers believe that in order to Constitutionally qualify for the office of president one must be born on US soil of US citizen parents.
Others believe that any old anchor baby qualifies.
Divided loyalties with divided citizenships. Yes PARENTS do matter. Other wise we could be ruled by a soviet/muslim plant! Like we are now!
How's that working out for us?
Thanks and I agree. I reject the notion babies born to foreign parents on US soil are automatically citizens much less qualified for office.

______________________________________
That is just one of two issues, and there is a lot of confusion over the meaning.
Some claim that the issue is clear on “two citizen parents”,
but I have not seen any clarification of the matter.
Obama’s father was clearly not a US citizen.
The other issue is his place of birth and a LEGITIMATE
birth certificate.
Everything released by the administration seems to be
highly questionable as to authenticity.
On top of that, the purported birth hospital, Kapiolani
seems to be mute on the subject on grounds of confidentiality, but that could be cleared by Obama.
Everything about Obama’s birth and early childhood has been totally cloaked in secrecy. Why is that?
the US Supreme Court in a ruling in 1874 clarified the meaning of NATURAL BORN TO BE BORN OF TWO U.S. CITIZENS. not necessarily on u.s. soil. Remember the military and their spouse being U.S. CITIZENS give birth over seas to children and are NATURAL BORN.
