Do you think BHO is lying about his past college years, name, grades, etc? Aren’t you the least bit curious about this?

What do you think the framers meant by “Natural Born Citizen” and why?

If, for example, the North Korean dictator visited the U.S., impregnated a U.S. citizen whore, would the child be a “natural born citizen” in your estimation?

I think he's embarrassed by some things he did. I am curious about it. However, the time to demand that stuff was before the election. The American people, apparently, did not care enough to demand it from him and voted for him anyway. Since none of it is relevant to his eligibility to be president, there is no legal basis upon which to demand it from him now.

Citizen at birth. That is the English common law definition.

It depends. If he just impregnates her and then leaves, then yes. The child will be born under US jurisdiction, and will be a citizen at birth, making him a natural born citizen.

If he impregnates her and then marries her, putting her and the child under diplomatic immunity, then no, since the child will not be subject US jurisdiction at birth.

This is isn't hard.
