You can be deemed, by Law, to be a Citizen but that does NOT constitute Natural Born...I really hate when people pretend they understand a law when they don't have a clue. There isn't a constitutional scholar or immigration attorney who would even come close to agreeing with you.
So, my advice? GET A GRIP... take your conspiracy theories and play them where there are stupid people who might believe them...
but anyone with half a brain knows that you're just wasting a lot of bandwidth.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
The Government itself states just that.
Seems some don't understand such simple things, and need to attack the person making the argument rather than the argument itself.
If the Government admits it, I am not sure why others don't?
Natural born citizen of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But, according to the U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual, "the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes."[4]
It is thought the origin of the natural born citizen clause can be traced to a letter of July 25, 1787, from John Jay (who was born in New York) to George Washington (who was born in Virginia), presiding officer of the Constitutional Convention. John Jay wrote: "Permit me to hint, whether it would be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government; and to declare expressly that the Commander in Chief of the American army shall not be given to nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen."[5] There was no debate, and this qualification for the office of the Presidency was introduced by the drafting Committee of Eleven, and then adopted without discussion by the Constitutional Convention.
