Ten years ago, a man I know, well, was studying to become an American citizen. His wife was preggers at that time. As part of the study papers that he was given, PRINTED BY OUR GOVERNMENT, contained the following: anyone desirous of becoming president, must be a NBC, having BOTH parents American citizens at the time of the child's birth. He passed the exam with flying colors and was delighted that his son ( yes, the knew the sex of the child before he was born )could now be president if he wanted to.
Frankly, I didn't know this, until that time and the man had NO reason, none at all, to lie to me about this. Remember, we are talking about sometime in 2005!

He told you or you saw it?
Thirty some years ago my wife gave birth to a son while we were outside the country. The State Department gave me a pamphlet that said very much the same thing as the document you are telling me about, including the requirement for birth inside the jurisdiction of the United States as a condition of NBC. For decades, I understood my son to be ineligible for the Presidency as a result of the circumstances of his birth. Imagine my surprise when Barack Obama was allowed to run and actually be sworn in as President!
Apparently times have changed. That ship has sailed and you and I were left behind.
