It's that natural born requires that both the mother AND the father are American citizens at the time of birth. Daddy was a British citizen at the time of Obamas birth. Obama could have be born in the Lincoln bedroom of the W.H. and he is still ineligible.

There are about 50 lawyers here that disagree, and this should bring them out of the woodwork. I hate lawyers, which would include a majority of Congress I guess.

I'm not a lawyer, but I know that in 1961 if you were born of one citizen parent on US soil you were indeed a natural born citizen according to law. However, if the mother was the only citizen parent she had to meet certain criteria if her child was born on foreign soil in order for the child to be a natural born citizen, Bozo's mother did not meet that criteria. That is why he is so insistent that he was born in US soil.

Now, for your(USCG SimTech) statement that the constitution requires two citizen parents, that is BS, there is no such requirement written into the constitution. If you think there is please quote me the article and show it to me, I would be interested in seeing it as up to this point in time it doesn't exist.

The constitution merely states that one of the requirements for holding office of the President is they must be a natural born citizen, no definition of natural born citizen is written into the constitution.

OK the you define it, or maybe the next nutty judge that comes along can decide that you only need to declare that you are Natural Born. The founders in their writings and discussion make it clear what is meant by the term. If did not mean some different, they would not have stated it as a separate category.

There are many things that are not defined in the Constitution, but when it is convenient to take a little more liberty from the people, they will use some traitorous judge to set a precedent, for them.

Common sense is not common at all.

Show me the definition of “is” in the Constitution. It’s not a dictionary and you know that so quit with the silly definition bs.
