James Madison, who wrote the Constitution, thought differently. During his Presidency, it was his contention that children born in the U.S.A. to alien parents WERE NOT U.S. citizens.
This flies directly in the face of those who maintain English Common Law, as force fed to law students about the early citizenship standards which insists that the British Common law jus soli rule had been adopted by our new federal government, is wrong.

THE PUBLIUS ENIGMA: Newly Revealed Evidence Establishes That President James Madison’s Administration Required Citizen Parentage To Qualify Native-Born Persons For U.S. Citizenship.
I was recently forwarded an incredibly amazing article from the October 10, 1811 edition of The Alexandria Herald newspaper. RXSID of Free Republic sent it with a brief note, stating, “Check out this case.” The Herald article is entitled, Case of James McClure. The author is…PUBLIUS.
Publius was the pseudonym used by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, for their anonymous authorship of The Federalist Papers. By 1811, Hamilton was dead and Jay retired. My research leads me to believe that the article was written by James Madison, but this has not been conclusively established yet. Regardless of authorship, Madison was President at the time the article was written, and it discusses the official position of his administration denying U.S. citizenship based upon simple birth in the country.
The official position of the Madison administration was that persons born in the U.S. to alien parents were not U.S. citizens. This was the ruling concerning James McClure, despite the fact that his parents had been settled in the country for many years prior to his birth. The article makes clear that the United States Minister to France, General Armstrong, refused diplomatic protection for McClure by denying he was a citizen of the United States.

The 14th Amendment changed that but it does not alter what the requirements are to be President: a person born in the United States of citizen parents, period.
And your insults indicate that you’re either an OBOT or have children who were born outside the United States. Too bad.
Wake up! In four years there may be a NEW world order at the rate things are presently going.
I’ll go one better. Since Rubio is such a fan of amnesty I’ll follow the lead of the foreign nationals living here illegally and vote against him.
The GOP is incredibly stupid to think that they are going to be rewarded by bestowing American citizenship on these law despising vatos. They’ll take your amnesty and still vote for Democrats and more free stuff.
When you are born, your citizenship is determined by only two factors:
1. On which country’s soil you’re born on.
2. What the citizenship of your parents are.
If your parents are not citizens of the soil you were born on, you are a dual citizen, at the least.
If your parents are citizens of the soil you were born on, you are naturally a citizen of just one country. Thus, the definition of ‘Natural Born’.
It’s a simple as that. At birth, you cannot be both a dual citizen and a natural born citizen.
People should get the cobwebs out of their heads.
Beyond twisted.
Your reply is typical of one who has lost an argument of simple logic.
Your NBC argument doesn’t exist in law or the constitution.
