You’re asking for a lesson in “Birther 101”.

There was a guy on one thread promulgating the theory that in order to be “natural born” you had to be a direct descendent of one of the people alive when the Constitution was ratified.

So I, according to him, being the grandson of Greek immigrants would be “native born” but not “natural born”.

Well, I have ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, but that's not what makes me a Natural Born Citizen. I was born on US soil to two American citizen parents. That's what makes me NBC.
