A memorandum to Congress dated April 3, 2009 written by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) states: “Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase “natural-born subject” in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s, the clause’s apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 (expressly defining the term “natural born citizen” to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase “natural born Citizen” would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth”.”

That’s enough proof for me. There are no monsters hiding in the closet. This memorandum has been raised many times on various NBC threads. If you need me to cite the reference, let me know.

Your reliance on that piece of disinformation and false propaganda effectively makes you an official supporter of Obama. It was written by an unabashed political agent of Obama’s and has been discredited for its blatantly fraudulent misrepresentations and falsifications of the SCOTUS and other decisions. See the nalaysis provided by Leo Donofrio for examples of where the CRS memo deliberately falsifies the historical records.
