Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in those gaps. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are “citizens of the United States at birth:”

Anyone born inside the United States
Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person’s status as a citizen of the tribe
Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21
Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)
A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S.
Anyone falling into these categories is considered natural-born, and is eligible to run for President or Vice President. These provisions allow the children of military families to be considered natural-born, for example.

At first I thought the bc issue was silly, people grasping at straws, however after reading everything I could find on this subject, indeed it appears he is hiding something. I want to see that sealed bc in Hawaii and why would he keep fighting and hiring attorneys instead of just showing it? I don’t think he can, there is something to this, the question is what?

a good friend of mine, born in Philippines of Chinese parents immigrated to the US in the 70’s..
He told me this whole Birth cert nonsense is not important
Obuma got elected, he should be president even if he was born in Africa. The constitution cannot overrule the vote.
Allowing millions of these voters here legally and illegal over the years and this is what you get.
The immigration issue has it's effects far and wide in what type of government we end up with..a case in point.

Here's a visual chart. It makes understanding the citizenship issue easy.

You have purposely conflated ‘natural born citizen’ with merely citizen. Nice job

Yes, I know all about Title 8 — BUT — “Citizen” does not equal “natural born Citizen” and you’ve added the part about “natural born Citizen” which is a lie!

Arnold Schwarzneggar, Governor of California, is a “Citizen” under the 14th Amendment. He is ineligible to be President because he was not born here.
