I answered both questions. Because your reading comprehension skills are sub-par I will repeat my answers.

One need not have any citizen parents to be a natural born citizen - as is the case with Marco Rubio.

All U.S. law pertaining to U.S. citizenship at birth is what I am talking about.

Now are you going to slink away without answering where in our Constitution or U.S. law you find any basis for there being U.S. citizens at birth that are not natural born?

Where is “native born” mentioned in the U.S. Constitution?

Where is there anywhere in U.S. law a procedure for naturalization that includes the mere act of being born?

Being born a U.S. citizen is not a naturalization procedure as spelled out under the Constitutional power granted to Congress to have a uniform rule for naturalization.

Naturalization procedures, as outlined under the granted power in the Constitution - include a legal procedure and oaths sworn.

Would you have me believe that Marco Rubio being born a U.S. citizen was him being “naturalized” as a citizen?

Where is the law pertaining to naturalization that includes automatic naturalization at birth?

I answered both questions.
No you didn't. In regards to my first question...How many citizen parents, in your opinion, does a person need to have in order to be a natural born citizen?...you replied in this manner.
@One need only be born a U.S. citizen under U.S. law (which should always be in accordance with natural law) to be a natural born citizen.
Simply stating "one" or "two" would have been answering the question. You didn't do that so, no, you didn't answer the question.

In regards to my second question...What US law in particular are you talking about?...you replied in this manner.
What U.S. law am I talking about? ALL U.S. law concerning granting citizenship at birth - of course.
I said "in particular". And you didn't even bother with my follow-up question to that answer...Isn't citizenship only "granted" under naturalization laws?

Because your reading comprehension skills are sub-par I will repeat my answers.
And so you give another dodge instead of forthrightly engaging in debate.
There is nothing wrong whatsoever with my reading comprehension. You didn't answer the questions.

All U.S. law pertaining to U.S. citizenship at birth is what I am talking about.
Well, once again, which law in particular is it that you're talking about? Can you at least give me the USC Title where that law is at? Or do you not know what law you're even talking about? You claim it's the law yet you don't know which one it is?

Where is “native born” mentioned in the U.S. Constitution?
Why does whether or not “native born” is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution even matter to the issue at hand, that being how many citizen parents a natural born citizen must have?

Being born a U.S. citizen is not a naturalization procedure as spelled out under the Constitutional power granted to Congress to have a uniform rule for naturalization.
Then where, and how, is it spelled out?

Naturalization procedures, as outlined under the granted power in the Constitution - include a legal procedure and oaths sworn.
Doesn't that only apply to people of a certain age?

Would you have me believe that Marco Rubio being born a U.S. citizen was him being “naturalized” as a citizen?
I would rather have you comprehend that he isn't a natural born citizen, but that seems beyond your ability.

Where is the law pertaining to naturalization that includes automatic naturalization at birth?
Are you implying that there isn't a law that grants automatic naturalization at birth?

His parents were aliens who hadn't been naturalized themselves at his birth so how could he be a natural born citizen?
We're back to my original question...How many citizen parents, in your opinion, does a person need to have in order to be a natural born citizen? Not just a U.S. citizen because a natural born citizen is also a U.S. citizen.
He was born to aliens who were naturalized after his birth. He is only a U.S. citizen because he was born here of legal aliens.
He is not a natural born citizen.

I'm curious now. If neither parent has to a be a citizen, then any child born in the U.S. can be POTUS? Are you saying there is no other barrier to eligibility today other than age? Please explain.
