sten, you are the one spouting off like a democrat. LOL.

I provided the actual relevant text of the actual Constitution. You provided nothing but your own ignorant opinion.

Regardless of what your silly Venn diagram says, there are only two categories of Citizen: natural-born and naturalized. All the Birther nonsense in the world doesn't change that.

Democrats like to pretend that the Constitution doesn't say what it means. You're suffering from the same delusion.

To: Johnny B.

you posted nothing. yes, you posted the A2S1 line about the qualification, but nothing that states what a natural born citizen is or why the founders used that specific term at the time. (i suspect you omitted anything that may support your claim due to a lack of information... as your claim is baseless)

seriously, you need to stop posting. you’re single-handedly diminishing the quality of content on these boards. at least TRY to do the bare basic amount of background reading before spouting off.

here’s a local post:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2713937/posts

which refers to the ‘Law of Nations’ (1757) which the founders would have referred to during their efforts.

in particular:

“The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.” - p.176

https://books.google.com/books?id=Yr0yAAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=de+vattel+law+of+nations&hl=en#v=onepage&q=parents&f=false

in short, a ‘natural born citizen’ is a citizen naturally... AS THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES. this is the reason the founders used the phrase... thereby insure, at least by birth, allegiance to the country.
