Just a few facts to consider: The Supreme Court has already clearly defined the difference between Native born and Natural born.example(Wong Kim Ark and the Elg vs US) . In the Ark case a child was born to parents who has legally immigrated to the U.S. but were not yet U.S. citizens(naturalized). Ark was declared a NATIVE born Naturalized citizen. In the Elg case a child was born to parents who were both Naturalized citizens but later returned home to Sweden. The child was declared a Natural Born citizen. The Ankeny case reference these cases but choose to ignor the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Ankeny case was in a district court not in a FEDERAL court and is not binding on federal law. Local courts DO NOT overrule the Supreme Court. Why are obama supporters referencing a lower court ruling but are ignoring Supreme Court cases that prove just the opposite. The answer is simple , if this ever gets to the U.S. Supreme court, obama would NOT be declared a Natural Born citizen. If Ankeny is appealed it will be overturned as it has no authority to override Federal law and the U.S. Constitution

Wong wasn't running for President, as far as I know, so there was no reason for the court to define natural born citizen. If he were, it would be obvious that he is natural born because he's native born. The Constitution makes that pretty clear. He was not a naturalized citizen; rather, a citizen from birth, a natural born citizen.
