Were this the case, then any enemy of the USA could visit the US, produce a child with any number of willing US women, raise that child to become president, then destroy the USA from within, using the powers of the highest office in the land.

So it's just that easy, huh? Crank out a kid and 50 years later he will certainly be president and be able to destroy the U.S. Amazing that Hitler or Stalin didn't try it. </sarcasm>

I think it's amusing that this is the sort of thing that keeps birthers up at night.

Anyone hatching a plan to destroy the United States with their progeny 50 years down the line could just as easily become a citizen first, therefore making the child a natural born citizen under even the strictest definition.
