Under the U.S. Constitution, only native-born citizens may serve as president.

No credibility if they cannot even properly quote the Constitution.

It's

Natural Born Citizen

You stupid nincompoops.

Or would that be a deliberate obfuscation?

Exactly! The morons are constantly saying it's all good...yet they can't even report the actual requirement accurately.

Not to mention, how can someone have their birth status governed by Great Britain, and be a NBC of the US?

I vote deliberate.

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.

ok, let's settle what NATURAL BORN means, it means what I say it is:
Natural Born means that the person was born of both parents being US Citizens on US soil, and to the military people born over seas, both parents have to be US citizens.

Now what do you think?

Of course it’s a deliberate obfuscation.

And it’s “freedom of SPEECH,” not “freedom of expression.” If the Supreme Court hadn’t invented “freedom of expression,” they’d have a tough time defending nude dancing as “speech.”
