Doesn't really matter who you choose.......SCOTUS made a decision in 1875 I believe that addressed this situation.......which has a direct affect on the wording "natural born citizen"...and which ramping up to the 2008 elections appears to been eliminated from a SCOTUS web site.
Wonder WTF was with that?
I'm sure in your scholarly views, you can see you are wrong.
That case was regarding voting rights, not citizenship. The wording says as much "Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case it is not necessary to solve these doubts."
Now there is a Supreme Court case that does take on the issue of citizenship, United States v. Wong Kim Ark. To summarize Mr. Ark's case. Due to the fact that he was BORN in the USA despite the fact his parents not being US citizens he was still a US citizen.
The next time you read some birther crap on WND or some other site please take into account that facts are not their primary concern.
