No offense taken. But please consider the following from the man who penned the 14th Amendment in 1871. Rep. John A. Bingham gave a definition of Natural Born Citizen, which stated in part:
“every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.”

So, to restate Rep. Bingham’s definition of “natural born” in 21st century terms:
1. Born on U.S. soil;
2. Parents are citizens at the time of birth.
I’m not smart enough to make this stuff up!
Thank you for the link, its the best case I have seen yet for your argument. Nonetheless, I still believe that anybody born in the US or born to US citizens outside of US is a natural born citizen.
My argument comes from the following article

Its a great five minute read, and in my view is the best summary of the controversy. Anybody who is interested in the issue should read it.
Once again, if Obama is a citizen, but is not a naturalized citizen, and is not a natural born citizen, what exactly is he?
Since there are only two kinds of citizens, if he is not naturalized, he is automatically natural born.
