NO - - neither parent needs to be a US citizen. Only you need to be born on US soil. Obama is a natural born citizen because he was born in Hawaii. It does not matter where his parents were born.
Or has the law changed - - that if one of your parents is a US citizen and you are born in another country - - does that qualify you as a natural born citizen? I don't think so.
I am a bit unclear on US territories and military bases abroad. Because non-citizens are in the US military. If both parents in the military are non-citizens - - but their child is born on a US military base - - does that qualify the child as a natural born US citizen?edit on 30-4-2011 by Annee because: (no reason given)
When a definition is not applied, it is expected one makes the best effort to figure out what the law meant as it was written, using tools like the dictionary, historical quotes by the founding fathers, etc. The video presented a very detailed and clear case that the word "natural born" at the time the constitution was written meant both parents were citizens.
The only valid issues in this thread are the actual meaning of the term when it was written and voted on,
Only a judge in the judicial branch has the right to interpret the law.
I’m not knowledgeable of Canada’s citizenship law, but a brief look at wikipedia shows they might have a similar birthright citizenship principle.

i do think that if you married a canadian, and moved there with him/her, but didn't apply for canadian citizenship/possess dual citizenship, then a child born there would have dual citizenship.
It doesn’t. And there’s Supreme Court cases clearly stating that involuntary operation of foreign law doesn’t affect US citizenship. Perkins v. Elg (1939), for example, states—
i just don't understand why dual citizenship, in this the age of globalization, should prevent an otherwise qualified person from becoming president.
And the mere fact that the plaintiff may have acquired Swedish citizenship by virtue of the operation of Swedish law, on the resumption of that citizenship by her parents, does not compel the conclusion that she has lost her own citizenship acquired under our law. As at birth she became a citizen of the United States, that citizenship must be deemed to continue unless she has been deprived of it through the operation of a treaty or congressional enactment or by her voluntary action in conformity with applicable legal principles.

So does it matter that he is eligible or not? Do you really think he is your leader or representative of a paper matrix known as the U.S?
What about Vattel’s definition?
Originally posted by Byteman
Obama agreed to this, and not only that there is still Vattel's definition that was covered by the video and adopted by the 1st congress.

But wasn't senate resolution 511 NONBINDING?
That means Congress never passed a law defining what a natural born American is.
Looks like 100% is headed toward 0% proof.
en.wikipedia.org...
The resolution means nothing, the Constitution states that both parents must be U.S. citizens, and Obama's father was a Kenyan, a british protectorate at the time, there Obama's father was British, and not a U.S. citizen.
Do your damn homework!

I will state emphatically that I am no fan of Obama and believe him to be about as evil as ol' Lucifer but, after the BC issue...that's it! Finished. It then becomes a Witch Hunt to continue.
If the BC is fake...ok
If he was not born in the US...ok.
But now his parents? I find this is a very weak attack that is nothing but a 'Grasping at Straws' exercise.
If the American people want him out, then do it! Call for his resignation En Masse. Demand he step down because of his policies, lies and destruction of the constitution. THESE are fact! These can be proven.
Where will the fake BC get to? Nowhere. Give it up and concentrate on what is possible.
Either demand his resignation or failing that, DON'T vote him in again!
That's how to get rid of him.
IMO
You might be a fool, if you don't read the Constitution. which clearly states that both parents must be U.S. citizens.
The birth certificate issue was just a ruse to get us to believe that Obama was legitimate.
