If someone is born a citizen under U.S. law, in recognition of the natural allegiance they have due to conditions of birth, they are a natural born citizen.

So you believe it is not necessary for both parents to be US citizens?

Because that is the issue here -- Obama's father was not, and it is not even in dispute.

The "naturalized citizen" issue has nothing to do with this issue. The whole case turns on the definition of NBC.

This new information about the case law being scrubbed seems to suggest there are many others besides me who think Obama has an eligibility issue.

According to the first naturalization act passed by Congress it was not necessary for both parents to be US citizens for a child to be a natural born citizen.

Obviously the view of who is a natural born citizen in 1790 was not an ironclad definition involving the necessity for two citizen parents at the time of birth.
