Citizen = any type of citizen - at the time of the founding there were three.

Natural Born citizen = one who was born a citizen - not a naturalized citizen or a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution.

The stringent rule for the highest office is that naturalized citizens are not eligible.

I don't give a s*it about 0bama - unlike the birthers who discovered Vattel sometime late in 2008 - I have consistently (from when McCain's eligibility was questioned back in 2004) believed that there are currently only two types of U.S. citizen.

Natural born or naturalized.

To how many citizen parents? One or two?
Doesn't an alien parent mean that naturalization laws would apply?

You will never convince me that the children of illegals are natural born. I can not imagine that at this time anyway.

Citizens they are, by decree and that creates another category. Maybe even just puts a name to add to your list. Citizen, not Natural born or Naturalized. Children of foreign parents born on American soil have been granted citizenship, even dual is possible, since it became legal...haven’t they? Is this not the anchor baby citizenship type? Not either of the other two types maybe? Citizens based on physical location at birth.

Rules change, but the Constitution is not a “living document” that can be interpreted without legal amendments, as far as I am concerned...

I do not mean to insult you, please do not use coarse language with me, it gains nothing.
