http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_born_citizen_of_the_United_States
According to an April 2000 report by the Congressional Research Service, most constitutional scholars interpret Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution as including citizens born outside the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens under the “natural born” requirement.
Again, take it from us who were born in the CZ with of both parents Americans.
I knew an American woman (her husband was also American) who always travel to the US to give birth in the event her children wanted to run for president of the US. Can I become anymore clearer?
By the way, I have never heard of any one of us who went through our great school system running for a political office in the US. We were above that crookedness and had better things to accomplish.
travel = traveled
“I have read repeatedly that Natural Born Citizen applies when both parents are citizens”
Read Vattel’s Law of Nations” the legal treatise the founder’s used in writing the Constitution and actually referenced in the Consititution. Natural Born Citizen is defined as someone born in the country by 2 parent citizen’s of that country. “Law of Nations” was the book which was recently discovered that George Washington had not returned to the New York library. McCain and Obama should have both been ineligible, regardless of where the Kenyan was born his father was a British subject.
Vattel, "Law of Nations", volume I, a combination of section 212 and section 217. 212 contains the "born in the country of parents who are citizens" definition, while 217 indicates that those born in the armies of a nation or its diplomatic corps are considered born in the country, since they never really left its jurisdiction.
But the CRS is incorrect. The principal does not extend to the children born abroad of citizen parents not in the military or diplomatic corps.
