I have always believed a natural born citizen has two US born parents and is born on US soil or if born outside the USA the parents were on military or government assignments.

Wait, so because both my parents were born in Poland I am not a natural born citizen? God, I swear the birthers get crazier and dumber every time I read their arguments. I have never heard anyone make this argument before Odumbo became president, and I dare you to point to any article written before 2008 that has this definition.

There is a vocal contingent of Freepers who agree with this definition, however, as the article state "Natural Born Citizen" is not defined in the COnstitution or the US Code, so definitions such are yours are really just theories at this point.

If that *were* the standard then Obama would clearly not be eligible for President: his father was not "US Born". I am pretty sure that there were other Presidents who had parents who were not born in the USA, though they had citizenship at the time the future Presidents were born.

The definition you have offered is about the very most restrictive offered by any birther. It's not the rules we are operating under today, obviously.

I also thought those were the guidelines, with the only exception being the people that were born prior to the establishment of the United States of America. According to the MSM Obama's birthplace has been established as well as global warming. So anybody that questions it is stupid.
