Framers intention:l for natural born: born on American soil of two American citizens.

Obama: born on American soil of one American citizen.

And now? Born on foriegn soil with one American citizen parent.

What is the over/under on amount of time before no American attachment is needed to be qualified to hold the highest nation in the land.

The courts have truly screwed us.

That's nonsense. That is the Birther Brigade intention, but they weren't around when the Constitution was crafted.

Also King George could have knocked up an American woman and the framers would’ve accepted the child as a natural born citizen able to hold the highest office in the land? Smell test.... No pass.

Not sure how the natural born clause can be considered a protection to the highest office if anybody with any remote American connection can be president.

Not written anywhere, ever -- except by deluded FR commenters.
