I thought he wasn’t a Natural Born Citizen....don’t tell me that we are going to be like the Democrats and ignore that. Soon we will be electing a guy who was not even born in the U.S. (besides Obama). I am talking a guy who says he was born in Mexico and is running and wins. The founders wanted two generations of Americans before allowing to run. This is true right?

The thing is, there is no precedent, regardless of what the birthers will tell you. They cite an old State Supreme court decision that parsed definitions, but the fact is state courts are leagally "inferior" to Federal courts as are lower courts to SCOTUS, so ther is not precedent to follow (or overturn). Unless somebody can cite a SCOTUS decision, then it's all meaningless. Experience shows that they aren't even going to touch the issue, and I suspect if they did they would rule that anyone born a citizen is a natural born citizen.
