>>Then how do you know who is a natural born citizen and who isn’t?<<

This has been a problem since it came up.
You have to realize that the framers understood that language clearly, so clear that they didn’t think it needed a definition.
You have to go back to their point of reference to determine what that meant.

But as for now we can be satisfied with what the confirmation hearings that John McCain went through without further consideration that Obama agreed to.
that being that BOTH parents had to have been American Citizens.

Under that alone Obama is disqualified since he himself states that his father was a citizen of kenya.

Except that there were no confirmation hearings on McCain and no legislation. Just a non-binding resolution.
