I haven’t followed all your posting on this, but do you agree that in order for him to be a NBC, he must have been born in the US and both his parents must have been US citizens at the time of his birth?

I understand that we’ve had other presidents who had a foreign parent. There was a list posted the other day - about 7 people long as I recall. But I think there was no question where the POTUS himself was born.

Well, I don’t think there is any doubt if both parents were US Citizens regardless of where he was born. In MY interpretation of the NBC clause and the founding father’s intent, he would need to be born under the authority of no other country (not just denounce it) and subject to LAWS of another nation. The surefire way for that to happen is to be born of 2 US citizens.

Now whether that legally is the issue, I don’t know because from I’ve (not) found, it’s never really been tested. And frankly it is an issue that should have been dealt with back in 2007/2008. But people were just rabidly pro-Obama and common sense went right out the window.
