a “natural born” citizen was one whose citizenship could not be challenged in any way

Convenient but wrong. Sounds more like something that came to mind after the fact. The only reason this issue is even under discussion is because we have people of questionable heritage that brought it forward.

McCain knew he was not eligible or he would have never called for a Sense of the Senate Resolution, proclaiming him to be an NBC. That resolution was as useless as my signature on a million dollar check. You did know that they tried to attach Barak's name to that same resolution right? Before 2008 if you asked a man on the street what NBC meant, he most likely would have told you born in USA of two Citizens.

I try to avoid this issue entirely because Cruz is held in high regard and deemed to be NBC on this forum. I don't happen to agree but it doesn't really matter our opinion is irrelevant, the decision will be or has beenmade by our betters.

“McCain knew he was not eligible or he would have never called for a Sense of the Senate Resolution, proclaiming him to be an NBC.”

I fail to see how that negates my saying that a natural born citizen is one whose citizenship could not be challenged in any way. The only way McCain could know he was not eligible is because he was not actually born on the soil of America, he certainly meets any other standard. You seem to agree with what I was taught in grade school in the fifties. Very few now would agree with the requirement to be born on American soil.
