"doing so amid speculation he could make a run at the White House in 2016." No speculation I can see; he is running and he is running hard and fast.
He will win in 2016, I can feel it in my bones!

Long term posters that hammered that 'natural born' crap wound up getting the zot. The management has very little use for bizarre and convoluted constitutional theories.

The Supreme Court has said that the Constitution only recognizes two forms of citizenship: citizenship acquired at birth and citizenship acquired by naturalization.
Here is the quote:
The fourteenth amendment of the constitution, in the declaration that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside,' contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only,-birth and naturalization. Citizenship by naturalization can only be acquired by naturalization under the authority and in the forms of law. But citizenship by birth is established by the mere fact of birth under the circumstances defined in the constitution. Every person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States, and needs no naturalization.
