Born on American soil of two parents who are American citizens at the time of birth?

Sounds pretty reasonable. Puts a firewall up against foreign influence. Eliminates complicated and contradictory considerations without a statute.

It is the historical meaning of natural born citizen.

Citizenship conferred by statute? Can be changed without a constitutional amendment, allowing a corrupt opportunity for foreign influence.

The argument against the eligibility of Cruz and Rubio is a good one.

Watch Cruz focus on “standing,” a dead giveaway he knows the merits go against him. And very, very Obama-like.

Wrong. In Britain before the Constitution was written, a natural-born subject included a child born to British parents outside of the country’s territory.

Very succinctly and logically stated.

That's tough! Obama is not a natural born citizen and he was given a pass. Since that part of the Constitution is dead, along with so many others, we need to build the Constitution up -- not elect a blowhard abortionist and rotten businessman.

After the damage done by Obama, America will not be great under any President, but at least it will work itself up to being good.

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN
(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a ‘natural born citizen’ is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.
