In fact, this is the definition of an anchor baby.

You can see the utter contempt our anti-birther FRiends have for those of us who were taught that being a natural born citizen requires birth on US soil to citizen parents. I'm starting to wonder if a lot of this overreaction is fear that examining the eligibility issue leads to questioning the legal hair-splitting that created citizens of the offspring of illegal temporary residents.

What has been interesting to me throughout the entire "birther" debate is that the anti-birthers fail to comprehend what Obama himself stated on his fightthesmears website:

He countered the inelibility claims by stating plainly that his father was not a U.S. citizen and that he (Obama) was "native born".

I'm confident that as a graduate of Harvard Law School who went on to teach Constitutional Law, Obama knows very well that there is a difference between "native born" and "natural born". Therefore, I can only conclude that Obama knows that he doesn't meet the Constitutional requirements to serve as POTUS. And you can bet that he's secretly laughing at those who defend his eligibility.

I don't believe anyone now saying that natural born citizen means two citizen parents was taught this in school. I'm not calling anyone a liar, I just think that their memory is heavily influenced by the strong beliefs they've formed relatively recently.
