A person born in this country to 2 non-citizens (like Chinese for example) who grows up in a communist country to the age of 21, then comes to the United States and spends the next 14 years here will be eligible to be president at the age of 35. This will be the ultimate ineligible candidate. And there won't be a thing your grandkids will be able to do about it. Now if someone wants to argue that this is a natural born citizen, you get what you deserve.

There is no need to wait for our grandkids.

Almost anyone born in the US is a natural born citizen of the US, under current law. That is the case for Marco Rubio, for example, neither of whose parents were US citizens when he was born. Almost nobody disputes that he is a natural born citizen. If you don't like it, change the law.

Rubio is not a natural born citizen. While born here, he was not born of two American citizens.

“Almost anyone born in the US is a natural born citizen of the US, under current law.”

So you’re saying if a pair of illegal immigrants have a kid on US soil, he would be a natural born citizen?

I don’t think so.

Natural Born refers to being born on US soil of two citizen parents. Rubio is a citizen but not “natural born”. Obama MAY fit this category, Cruz wasn’t even born here.

The founders wanted to avoid excatly what we got in Obama - a leader who only pretends to be loyal. Obamatrade is positioned to destroy our sovereignty. This is what we get for figuring it’s ok to let the first black POTUS evade the Constitution.

The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to [218] all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see, whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.

The law is meaningless with regard to NBC. All that matters is...
WHAT DID NATURAL BORN MEAN WHEN THE CONSTITUTION WAS ADOPTED?
Congress can’t make word definitions change by decree.
