Here ya go: a civics textbook from the 1970s.

http://books.google.com/books?id=c1dA4MMmF0kC&lpg=PA155&dq=president%20%22native%20born%22&pg=PA154#v=onepage&q&f=false

Thorough discussion of Presidential eligibility; no mention whatsoever that the President must be born to two citizen parents. The only mention of parental citizenship is in the context of a child “born abroad of American parents.”

So I’ve now produced FOUR books, including two from the 1990s and one from the 1970s. Have you managed to locate even one that *supports* your recollections?

Congratulations on finding a Civics Textbook from the 70s! Does the addition of the letter S have any meaning to you? As you noted yourself the reference is to “parents” PLURAL. Which would to most people would imply that the requirement of a person born within the borders of the United States would also need “parents” PLURAL to be a citizen. I appreciate your efforts but you are still 0 for 4 in proving anything about what I and others here were taught in school.
