Yet if that was the intent of the founders, they did not mention this supposed requirement for both parents to be citizens. The Constitution says “natural born citizen”, it says nothing about the citizenship status of the parents; and at the time of our founding almost all of our founders were British citizens and the children of British citizens (thus they were grandfathered in).

It wouldn't have taken much to say “a natural born citizen and the child of two citizens” in the Constitution, and yet you seem convinced that they omitted this requirement that they most certainly meant to include.

I don't think their view of natural law was such that if one was born in America, with parentage that was British; that one would necessarily be loyal to Britain - the founders certainly were not loyal to Britain!

0bama never really knew his father. His radicalism was taught to him by his mother and grandparents, all radical socialist/Marxists; and his friends and associates, all radical Communists and/or terrorists.

My answer to the question "Did the founders intend to keep persons whith parents of foreign citizenship out of the office?" is yes they did. Hard for me to believe that they would want the future children of british citizens to be president and reinforced after 1812.

There have been various posts defining NBC in the 18th century. I am not informed enough to support or discount the literature. It doesn't surprise me that every thing in the constitution is not well defined or spelled out.

As I think we have agreed: need a USSC ruling and let's move on and I don't mean dot org.
