Do you care to cite the law that states that an individual must have two U.S. citizen parents in order to qualify for the office of POTUS?

This is always so predictable ... the father's of our constitution clearly stated their intent. It goes back to lawyer types parsing every word ... as in Clinton (probably someone you voted for ... twice. You know, the impeached one ...) stating "It depends on what your definition of what 'is' ... is."

Actually, we are a nation of laws, laws that come directly from the Constitution and laws that have been passed that conform to our Constitution.

And nowhere in our history has a law been past that defines 'natural born citizen' in the manner you wish for it to be defined.

Actually, they didn’t state any intent. They used a term with no definition in the Constitution. The case for common law is at least as plausible as anything else.
