Natural Born Citizen

You stupid nincompoops.

Or would that be a deliberate obfuscation?

I've seen this substitution of "native born" for "natural born" in print so many times, I'm beginning to think it's not a coincidence.

It's not hard (at least in my mind) for a journalist to get hold of a copy of the U.S. Constitution (hard copy or electronic) to check the correct wording of the requirements for the Presidency in Article II.

I think some nervous editors (who knows who might be looking over their shoulders?) grab the blue pencil and make some last-minute changes to the copy, if you know what I mean.

BINGO BUMP!

A deliberate obfuscation tactic, probably ordered by the O administration to their comrades in the state run media. It just makes it more obvious that they are hiding something that they know is going to come out eventually, so they are preparing the ground ahead of time.

Yes. Being born to a US Citizen mother makes one a "natural born" citizen whether the birth occurs on the soil of Hawaii, Kenya, Antarctica, or Mars. This obfuscation is thus a necessary component of birtherist nonsense.
