That is a gross misinterpretation of not only the Constitution itself, but also of the uniform naturalization laws established by the first Congress. You are posting as fact, a complete fabrication and apparently for the gazillionth time. There is a book called “The Citizenship Flowchart” by Robert James McWhirter. I think it may be a good place to start reading. The POTUS cannot serve two nations.

Are you talking about this law:

1790 First Congress, Act of March 26th, 1790, 1 Stat. 103.

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond the sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens: Provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States."

How am I misrepresenting that? It doesn't mention a requirement for both parents to be citizens, nor does it require that the person be born in the US.

And I don't see how I can be misrepresenting the meaning of 'natural born' as it comes from the dictionary.

Was this Robert James McWhirter fellow a Founding Father? Because several of the legislators in the 1st HoR and Senate that created and passed this tidbit were. Not to mention President Washington, who signed it. I'd guess that pretty much covers original intent.

I am posting fact as fact. No more, no less.
