The definition of 2 citizen parents in order to be a natural born citizen makes sense to me..... especially considering the historic constitutional context. This was even taught to me in my high school civics class. At the time, there was no doubt about the definition. It is interesting to note that the only place in the constitution where the phrase “natural born” is mentioned is article 2 section 1 dealing with the qualifications of the office of US President. My opinion is further enforced by minor..... BUT I will concede that I am not a lawyer. And I will agree at this point, we need the SCOTUS to chime in do their duty and clarify the issue using today’s language. I am confident that in the end, the 2 parent requirement will be upheld. BUT whatever the court decides, I will accept the issue as settled. At this point I consider it almost settled.

Don't worry, you're not the only one who was taught this. I remember it too.

They're hoping we'll all die off.
