And this is what we've tried to get through to others. It's a *special* designation. No one seems to be able to clearly tell us the current law (i.e., most Acts have since been repealed; other cases were about native born citizenship).
Peeps are confused here over the simple natural-born definition (born in the United States by two citizen parents) with the more complexly defined native-born and naturalized citizen. The natural-born is a special, simple definition and we know that because it is called out in relation to becoming POTUS. John McCain was not natural-born either.
This article helped me get a better understanding: ObamaNaturalBorn.
CamJack: I'd like to know, based on your qualifications stated, if you think Obama is a natural born citizen, supposing that he is born in the US to a foreign father, without regard to anything else. Yes or no. Is he natural born according to the current law today? Thank you in advance for your reply.
“Born in the U.S. Mainland”.
Where do you get that from?
