And what about Marco Rubio? Even by Brets literally made up definition, Rubio is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.

Wrong. Rubio was born a citizen; therefore, he's natural born. That's the common understanding of the term, and that's all Bret is asserting.

There are only two types of citizen: natural born and naturalized. Natural born are those who are citizens because of the circumstances of their birth. Naturalized are all the rest, such as Kissinger, Schwarzenegger, Granholm, et al. They were born something else (German, Austrian, Canadian) and became citizens later.

At this point, there is no way the Court is going to contrive a new definition of Natural Born in order to keep Obama off the ballot. Obama is going to have to be defeated in the election. Period.

BTW, Bret did make one little mistake: He failed to note that the age requirement of Section 1401 only applied to married women. That would exclude Stanley Ann, since her 'marriage' was bigamous and thus invalid. Therefore, little Barry bastard would be eligible even if born in Mombasa, as long as Stanley Ann was his mother.

According to both my Civics class and Government class there are THREE types of citizeship. Natural born, naturalized and native born. Don’t know where you went to school, but either your teachers were already promoting this venue or you weren’t paying attention.

"There are only two types of citizen: natural born and naturalized."

There are three:

  1. Natural Born
  2. Native Born
  3. Naturalized
Some believe Natural and Native are interchangeable. I believe they aren't and that Natural Born, reserved for "special" positions such as POTUS and VPOTUS, requires birth on US soil of two citizen parents.

Note that the parents do not need to be natural born themselves. They could be native or naturalized citizens.
