"The birthplace of one’s parents is relevant to determining natural born status only if the parents are foreign diplomats."

Barry was born a subject of the British crown. There's nothing in American law or history that would say, with that background, he's considered a Natural Born Citizen for purposes of Article II, section 1, clause 5 eligibility.

So the question remains,

How can a Natural Born Citizen's status be "Governed" by Great Britain?

It’s not “governed” by Great Britain. It’s governed by the US. He was born with British citizenship (I think), but that doesn’t mean anything.

Britian could pass a law tomorrow making you a British citizen. Does that make you inelgible for the presidency? Zimbabwe could make every resident of Texas a Zimbabwe citizen tomorrow. That doesn’t mean I’m now subject to their courts.

Our laws are our laws. Their laws are their laws.
