I thought it was 2/3 also but went to that site to verify. But no way the Congress even with Nancy and Harry can change the Constitution. So far.

we need more ‘discoveries’ and truth-tellers....I wonder why there are no patriots who will step up and reveal what they know about the machinations behind the bama-boo curtain?

It was during the bill’s hearing that Sen. Patrick Leahy, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the following statement: “Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen,” said Leahy. “I expect that this will be a unanimous resolution of the Senate.” At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President. “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy. What’s interesting here is that Sen. Leahy, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary, confirms that a “natural born” citizen is the child of American citizen parents. Parents — that’s two. That’s BOTH parents. LOL. They were all referring *only* to a person known to be born outside the United States, John McCain. They would not have said the same about a person born within the United States. Why haven't any of you called the State Department and asked a simple question about this? You don't want to hear the law from the horse's mouth? You'd rather dance around the fire chanting silly songs?

Very important! Thank you for this historic context.

Natural allegiance is therefore perpetual

By that strain of Birther "logic," Obama's kids are Brits, not American Citizens, and the progeny of his (theoretical) sons will be Brits too. And no one is eligible to be President, unless they are descended in an unbroken line of natural born citizen male ancestors back to 1787, when the Constitution was adopted.

And then you folks get all riled up when Obama holds you out as a bunch of raving wack jobs, and smears all of his opponents by equating them to you.

lol.

Both figuratively and substantially, I suppose?

The U.S. State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual discusses problems associated with dual citizenship:

7 FAM 081: U.S. Policy on Dual Nationality:

(e)While recognizing the existence of dual nationality, the U.S. Government does not encourage it as a matter of policy because of the problems it may cause. Dual nationality may hamper efforts by the U.S. Government to provide diplomatic and consular protection to individuals overseas. When a U.S. citizen is in the other country of their dual nationality, that country has a predominant claim on the person.

Dillweed......If Ogabe was a citizen when he impregnated the sasquatch and had kids. His kids are natural born citizens.

The sad fact is we don’t even know if he’s a citizen of the U.S.

[rolling_stone]

Why haven't any of you called the State Department and asked a simple question about this?

Why don't you read the State Department's own statement on presidential eligibility, it has been posted on FR many times.

I’ve got a question for natural born citizen experts here. The first Republican candidate, John C. Fremont, was born out of wedlock to a American woman and Frenchman living in the United States. He received 33 percent of the popular vote in the election of 1856, carrying 11 states, losing to James Buchanan. At any time, either during the Republican primary or the general election, was his status as a natural born citizen questioned?
