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.
| Office | Citizenship | Age | Residency (or years citizen) |
| Commander in Chief | natural born Citizen | 35 | 14 years resident |
| Senator | Citizen | 30 | 9 years a Citizen |
| Represantative | Citizen | 25 | 7 years a Citizen |
You might not want to argue the anchor baby issue because they fit right into your theory of who a natural born Citizen is.
Barry very well *might* be a citizen, but he could never be a natural born Citizen. It's unnatural for a multinational like Barry to be a natural born Citizen. A citizen can be a multinational...but a natural born Citizen can not.
The easiest way to look at it, is if it takes "man's" law...a/k/a a statue to give someone their citizenship status...that person is a citizen but not a natural born Citizen. That person can hold any political office in the land, save for the Commander in Chief and V.P.
There is only 1 known definition for Citizens who are natural born in 1787, and it comes from a widely known and respected legal treatise the framers read and referenced during the Federal Convention itself.
