“being a citizen is not enough to be qualified for the office”

Whoever said it was?

“a ‘natural born’ citizen, which requires both parents be US citizens at the time of birth”

Nope.

“Whoever said it was?”

the Constitution and the founders. as has been stated, time and again, the intention by the founders was to insure any person running for the office of the president would not have split allegiances by parental birth. this is the reason for the specific language, unlike the requirement to be a congressman.

the anti-birthers/anti-Constitutionalists constantly repeat their claim that any anchor baby could be president.

thanks for stopping by
