Maybe we’ll all pay attention to “Natural Born”, and two citizen parents, if we ever get a “next time” . . .
And where in Article II of the Constitution does it say anything about parents? Natural-born was not given a new legal definition in the Constitution. It means, and still does, having a quality or attribute from birth just like it did for the two hundred years the expression was in use before the Constitution was written. You can't just go around changing the rules because you don't like the outcome. That's a stupid-liberal trick. If you want to change the requirements for President, get a constitutional amendment. It's been done before. In the mean time, you are setting yourself up for disappointment by relying on a nonexistent requirement. You guys aren't even consistent, which simply illustrates the flaw in your arguments. Some say "two citizen parents, born here", some say "two citizen parents", some say "citizen parent, born here" and none of that has any basis in fact. If you are a citizen at birth, you are a natural-born citizen, and thus meet that part of the eligibility requirements to become President. Period. Having a non-citizen parent, or even parents, is probably always undesirable, but it does not in itself make one ineligible. The same for being born overseas under some circumstances (some would make children of military stationed overseas ineligible, or children of diplomats, another inconsistency in the arguments). As the Founders did not include a new legal definition for natural-born, the dictionary definition is the legal definition.
