The website's "Natural Born Citizen Chart" claims the the Constitutional definition of "Natural Born Citizen" requires that the person be "Born in the U.S. mainland" of parents who "Both are U. S. Citizens". This is not true. The term is not defined in the Constitution: "No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President..." The site claims that this term is also defined in law, but offers only a Swiss source document predating the Revolution:

Natural born citizen is not well defined at all anywhere. How much case law is there on it?
This is exactly why I wanted the Supreme Court to rule whether 0 is a natural born citizen for purposes of being President. The Supreme Court chickened out

Take a look at "Perkins v. Elg" Natural born citizen is not mentioned http://supreme.justia.com/us/307/325/

You said:

This quote is from the deciding paragraph of Perkins vs Elg, which I quoted (my emphasis) in the earlier post:

The court below, properly recognizing the existence of an actual controversy with the defendants..., declared Miss Elg 'to be a natural born citizen of the United States'

Miss Elg was born in the US of parents with Swedish (and in the case of her father, naturalized US) citizenship. The Supreme Court, in this case, used that precise phrase to describe her in its conclusion. Apparently, the Supreme Court, in a case you cited, believes a "natural born citizen" to be any person born on US soil, regardless of that person's parentage, (except for the children of diplomats, who are not subject to US jurisdiction.)
