Then you are in the camp of believers that think anchor babies in this country illegally are Commander in Chief eligibile. In your mind, they are "natural born Citizens."

They are currently afforded citizenship status, but are not naturalized.

By the way, from where do you derive your definition of "natural born Citizen?"

First, let me say that I think we absolutely need to stop the whole “anchor baby” thing. I say that just to let you know where I’m coming from.

I know the phrase “natural born Citizen” (for purposes of who can become president) is written in the Constitution. I have also repeatedly read that it absolutely, positively excludes “naturalized” citizens from becoming president. I do not know of, nor have ever read, that the REMAINING classification of citizens (as of the time of Barry’s birth) is split into other catagories, those who can or can not become president. I don’t care to argue the anchor baby point since that definition does not apply to BO. From what I have read and understand, his mother was unquestionably a citizen. She was single when the little b*stard was born. As a result, Barry was a US citizen from birth and eligible to be president no matter where she popped him out. That said, if they lied to avoid controversy THAT could bring him down.
