You need to be BORN to..... “2”.... Citizen Parents of the USA to become a ....Natural Born Citizen of America!!...........

Mind letting us know where you learned that? It is at odds with the definition of 'natural born citizen' according to the Congressional Research Office:

In addition to historical and textual analysis, numerous holdings and references in federal (and state) cases for more than a century have clearly indicated that those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction (i.e., not born to foreign diplomats or occupying military forces), even to alien parents, are citizens “at birth” or “by birth,” and are “natural born,” as opposed to “naturalized,” U.S. citizens. There is no provision in the Constitution and no controlling American case law to support a contention that the citizenship of one’s parents governs the eligibility of a native born U.S. citizen to be President.

It just the same ol’ birther nonsense. I’ve heard arguments that Santorum, Romney, McCain, and Rubio aren’t qualified either.

Mark Levin thinks Rubio is good to go, and that’s good enough for me.

“You need to be BORN to..... “2”.... Citizen Parents of the USA to become a ....Natural Born Citizen of America!!...........
Mind letting us know where you learned that? It is at odds with the definition of ‘natural born citizen’ according to the Congressional Research Office:”

MINOR V. HAPPERSETT, 88 U. S. 162 .......(1874)

The Supreme Court clearly established who was a .....“natural born citizen” ......in the case Minor v. Happersett (1874).

Justice Gray thoroughly discussed the definition of “natural born citizen” in his review of the Minor case.

The Supreme Court in Minor adopted the..... Laws of Nations.... definition of “natural born citizen” as being a person born in the United States to .....“citizen parents”.......(Notice the “s” Parents!!) –”

this definition does “not” include Mr. Barack H. Obama, Jr., because his father was “not” a United States Citizen.

Minor Vs. Happersett 1874 has... NEVER... been over turned.....

Congress has attempted to over turn this about 7 times sine 2004..... But is has NEVER been overturned!!

Even some law schools no longer teach this..... They are wrong!!!!!!!!!
