Now, can you find something in the Constitution, Legislation or Case Law that defines Natural Born Citizen?How about 150 years of Presidential precedent during which every President was a living breathing definition of a Natural Born Citizen [except one who hid his past and burned his papers because he knew he wasn't one]. Will that suffice???

What is this 'living breathing' definition? Is it the one where you must be born of two US citizen parents on US soil? Or just born a citizen? Or did your citizen parents have to be native born, or what? Because I have seen so many different assertions about what exactly that means that there isn't any longer a clear 'living breathing' definition that can be referenced - now you need to quote the definition so people will know which one you mean. But let's start with the strictest one that has been seriously suggested: born on US soil to two US citizen parents and being subject to no other sovereignty. Is that the one you mean? [full disclosure: I do not support that definition, in case there is anybody at all remaining on FR who didn't know that.]

Can you show me where the previous 42 men that have been President have submitted conclusive proof that they were in fact natural born citizens?
Is there a place in the National Archives that holds the original 42 birth certificates?
