I have already wasted too much time on this today; here is a small sampling of links, although I suspect you will have no interest in any of them. I think the first is the most interesting as relating to what we were taught and what was discussed during our time in school. The first post is from the son was born abroad to citizen parents. His father was a soldier stationed overseas. His story is consistent with what I was taught.

The second is a very in depth article written by constitutional scolar Gabriel J. Chin.

The third is a link to a discussion on DU, similar to dozens if not hundreds of other discussions by DEMOCRATS where many insist that McCain was not elligable to be president.

The following are articles from the main stream media in 2008. It is funny how knowledgable the seemed to be back then when the question was about McCain. Now they don’t seem to have any clue or concern about the constitutional “Natural Born Citizen” requirement.

It’s always possible to gather a set of arguments for a particular position. In general, yours appear to be from what I would consider to be extremists; in particular, crazies from DU and a serviceman who is clearly a natural born citizen under current laws and court decisions. (And citing arguments from DU extremists really doesn’t help your argument in any way and is sort of ironic, don’t you think?) I haven’t yet read the legal argument you posted, but I will.

I’m not saying you don’t have an argument, I’m saying that it’s one that has little or no substantial currency under present U.S. law.
