For me personally I think we as a country should get back to the original definition of 'natural born' as explained by the guys who actually wrote the constitution. In the Naturalization Act of 1790 natural born was clarified as: "the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens". You can't get any clearer than that! The men who wrote our constitution also wrote this act and they made it crystal clear what they meant by natural born!!
Note that in this Act it specifically stated citizens. Plural - both parents. It goes on to as well specifically describe that natural born was not based on where a person was born, but to whom. You could be born 'beyond the sea' or 'out of the limits' of the U.S. so long as you were the child of 'citizenS'.
I realize this definition was later revoked etc. etc. 14th amendment and all that - but sheez - we wouldn't have all these problems with anchor babies and everything else if we would just return to what the founders intended!
In the meantime I personally, even IF the candidate would be conservative; would NEVER EVER vote for anyone who had a parent who was NOT a U.S. citizen......
The grammatical reading of the word “citizens” in the passage you cite means that it refers to children of all US citizens, not that both parents must be US citizens.
