I have always interpreted NBC as being a child born in the U.S. to U.S. citizens, with the only exception being if the parents were in a foreign country in service to their country when the child was born that child is deemed to be a NBC.

thanks, and my real reason for posting this was to see if this can actually put the issue to rest or not. I think the consensus tells me that it is not. Ted Cruz needs to get clarification and now. As far as I am concerned Marco Rubio needs to drop out immediately due to ineligibility.

Your statement captures the founder's intent perfectly and their language does not detract from that intent!

Jay, in his letter, was specifically talking about the CIC and foreign entanglements by virtue of birthplace and parentage. As I have argued elsewhere, it is inconceivable General Geo. Washington have agreed that NBC extended to one born in England to an English parent.
