According to whom??? Find a legal source that says this and is actually backed up by caselaw.
Is that you, Barry?
The English Language says so.
Congress defined citizenship.
Again, look at any passport application.
It’s called capias, which is a name for a number of writs that command a sheriff or other officer to arrest a person and bring them before the court. They cannot be executed outside the jurisdiction on the issuing court.
There are state statutes that require courts to issue capias, warrants, or other writs on out-of-state actions in certain circumstances, such as child support situations. These statutes are in derogation of the common law rule that no capias would issue on a foreign cause of action.
I’m not sure what Delaware was doing, but I rather doubt a sheriff in Maryland would feel compelled to obey the writs of a Delaware court. There must be some compact or other arrangement where the local court issued capias on request of the Delaware authorities.
“Natural Born Citizen has ALWAYS meant Citizen at the Moment of Birth
WRONG! The person whose father was born in Canada to two U.S. citizens, is a “citizen at birth”. FACT
Are you saying he would be eligible to be president of the United States (a Natural Born Citizen) having been born in a foreign country?
That IS what you are saying and it is RIDICULOUS!
Those applications list several different citizenship dates and requirements during those dates.

My passport should read “natural born citizen”.
Two citizen parents, born on US soil = Natural Born Citizen. That's logical.
Your example depends on the age of the parents and the year of said birth.
Congress has changed the citizenship rules a few times.
Here is an online passport application...http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/79955.pdf
All you need to know about Congressional action, IE Citizenship, is right there for all to see.
I don't see a damn thing there telling me which laws do what you say they do.
Even searching USC and Public Law, though both give a response, doesn't do me much good.
Help me out here...unless you can't because all that you've said is BS.
Which is it? Help me out or admit that you're talking smack.
Either that, or the reporting was not entirely accurate. Given the media’s (traditional and otherwise) track record with regards to reporting on legal proceedings, I’ll presume the latter.
Idiots vs common sense
