As I pointed out, the NBC status of those BORN ABROAD is in doubt. The NBC status of those born inside the US, of parents here legally, is not.

“When it comes to the NBC definition there is no ambiguity, no debate is needed.”

True enough - until 2008. Then people started arguing what had not been argued before - that someone born in the USA of parents here legally was not a NBC.

There IS no debate. No court will waste its time on the birther arguments. The Supreme Court has rejected multiple cases without bothering to hear arguments - because there are none, legally speaking. Only on WND and birther web sites...

When I was in High School in the 1970s we discussed this topic in class. We learned that a “Natural Born Citizen” was a person born in this country with parents who were both citizens. Unfortunately, I do not remember whether the term was defined in our text book or by the teacher. I have been searching for old text books covering the US Constitution every time I enter a used book store. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be much demand for this type of book... they do not seem to be easy to find. I hope other freepers will search for these books also.
