“If Obama was born on US soil, he is a natural born citizen thru jus solis. It wouldn’t matter who his parents were except if they were diplomats accredited to the US.”

kabar, there is a distinct difference bewteen a US citizen and a “Natural Born Citizen”, per the US constitution as it pertains to eligibility of POTUS. There are many links and resources here in FR that can help you with your research if you care to know.

I have read most the arguments, which are pure speculation. The Wong case seems to set the precedent for birthright citizenship. The Constitution does not provide an explicit definition of natural born, especially as it applies to the Presidency. No one knows what SCOTUS would decide since the issue has never been raised to that level legally.
