He would be a natural born US citizen in that case.

Please flame away, cuss and swear, even toss out a few made up case in point anecdotes, but don’t try and defend your idea. It’s wrong and it’s not even close.

To be a natural born US citizen, both your parents DO NOT have to be natural born US citizens themselves.

Who has ever said that? They only have to be “CITIZENS” at the time of the birth. Naturalized or Native. Whether they meet the added requirements to be president of “Natural Born” status is irrelevant.

No, but they have to be citizens. (naturalized or natural born).

If BHO Sr. is his daddy, BHO Sr. was a Kenyan, never a US citizen, and certainly not at the time of his birth.

Absolutely correct. All they have to be is citizens.

I've Never said they did, but they both must be citizens at the time of the birth of their child, for that child to be a Natural Born Citizen.

We've now had two usurper presidents.

But-—I believe both parents have to be at least just plain citizens. It is misleading to speak of NBC being the same as plain C. Even the Constitution is explicit in differentiating between the two categories of citizen for national elective office holders.

You are correct that both parents don’t have to be NBC’s for their son to be eligible to run for President in the US, BUT they both have to be of age and also citizens of the US. Obama’s claimed father was not a US citizen, but was a citizen of Kenya under British rule.
