We aren't suffering from false memory syndrome. It used to be that 2 parents (note the plural) and born in the country mean't NATURAL BORN. See here:Natural Born Citizen
Note that most of the other arguments worry about simple citizenship. The key point is that Natural Born Citizenship is a higher threshold and did not simply mean "not naturalized, but born a citizen".
It went further, and de Vattel's definition of it was the one that was presumed.
There are counter arguments. Unfortunately, at least in my case, I don't buy them. I think the Kenyan is argument enough. He has done so much damage to our Republic, it may be beyond repair.
Perhaps we can be a bit more discerning this time around. Unfortunately, the need to WIN get's in the way of that, and a brilliant, charismatic guy like Cruz is hard to walk away from. Perhaps he's an argument for a looser definition.
But we don't know, do we? And the evidence we currently have doesn't help.
I have paid attention to the debate over the years and realize like you that it is futile no matter who is “right”.
Oboma is proof of what happens even if he is just a sock puppet for whomever pulls his strings.
LOL! Glad you said something. Government class was a looong time ago, yet I thought that was the definition I remembered....but I've learned so much since then, I was starting to doubt my myself. Thanks!
