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.

The chart you have shown is accurate. It does not support either side of our disagreement. A naturalized citizen, Such as Arnie S., former governor of CA, can hold all of those offices up to but not including president. The heart of the question is the legal definition of “natural born citizen” at the time of barrys birth. My position is that a b@stard child born to a woman who is unquestionably a non-naturalized US citizen (unmarried) is a natural born citizen no matter what country the child is birthed. You have not given me any proof to the contrary.

Side note: “anchor baby” by definition is a child born in the US where NEITHER of the parents are US citizens. They do not fit the definition of either naturalized or natural born...and in my opinion should NOT be considered a citizen. since this whole thing is about Obama, let’s concentrate on him. By the way, since it is being reported that he has disclosed his LFBC, this may bea moot point......MAY be!!!
