Lots of freepers think this person is now eligible to run for President, sadly.

Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
Born a citizen as suggested by Hamilton was rejected as not restrictive enough as it would allow those with divided citizenship, loyalties and allegiances to get into the Oval Office.
The founders wanted only those who were SOLELY Americans to be eligible for President.

ANYONE born with more than ONE nationality is NOT a natural born citizen.

Whether the kid is a citizen is as nothing compared to the legalization of human trafficking.

Natural born means born here. Period.

This person (subject of the article) is not a natural born citizen...they can be naturalized through adoption, etc. and all that process entails.

Your definition is still clearly wrong and made up out of whole cloth, as even a cursory amount of research will demonstrate.

That is simply false.

Think about the implications of what you're saying.

Each country decides who their citizens are.

Cuba could say that as of today every person born in the US is a Cuban citizen at birth and by your logic people born from that point forward wouldn't be eligible to be President.

We don't control other countries' citizenship policies so we would be fools to make eligibility dependent upon them.
