HAHAHAHA, It is glaringly obvious that Obombya is not eligible to be president. Some people just can't handle that fact.
I will ask you Vattelists this question again:

Here is the one and only data I have on what it meant in 1776 to be a natural born citizen: Source: www.lonang.com...
Emmerich de Vattel 1758
"The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens."
While some argue, especially the birthers, the Framers relied on Vattel’s definition, the Supreme Court ruled the common law principle is what applies in the United States.
I more than welcome others to add their own historical quotes from the era so that the answer can be more solidified as to what "natual born" actually means in the context of the US constitution.

But now his parents? I find this is a very weak attack that is nothing but a 'Grasping at Straws' exercise.

OK, I have a question then. If it is so glaringly obvious that by virtue of who his father was, Obama is not eligible to be president - even as some assert as per the founding fathers - then how come none of you brought it up when he was running?

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
Here's the issue... If this man is not eligible to be president, every signature he signed in that capacity is now null and void. So are his orders to attack Libya. It makes a difference.
And this vid shows that by resolution (ironically that he himself signed) he isn't president.

I don't appreciate the idea that if something was done wrong 35+ times it should be done wrong a 36th+ time that your simplified summary means.
I think that simplified summary is supporting evidence that nothing was done wrong, in fact.
The U.S. Supreme Court has jurisdiction over the precise meaning of the US Constitution (as the Constitution says).
The 14th Amendment was passed after the era of 1789, as well. After the 14th Amendment, it is settled law that anybody born inside the US is a US citizen from birth, i.e. "natural born" --- that he does not need to be "naturalized" to become a citizen.
And in any case, there is also a matter of legal standing, and I believe courts have ruled on this as well. If the candidate is ineligible to be President, who has standing to stop him legally?
Now in an impeachment or court proceeding, what would the committee or court need to see? Actual evidence that Obama was not a natural born citizen---for example, clear evidence of a birth outside the USA stronger than the evidence that he is. There is no such legitimate evidence.

I'm from the UK even I know the difference between the following:
1, Born in the US
AND
2. Born to US citizens
versus
1.Born in the US
OR
2. Born to US citizens.
I think some of you birthers need to understand the difference between the words "OR" and "AND". McCain failed 1 but passed 2. Obama passes 1 but fails 2. In either case both are eligible because of the key word "OR".
It's called the English language !

Seems like lying runs in the family. This is very recent and it does back up our claims.

So you are suggesting I go with what YOU THINK it meant to people specifically in the 1700s instead of looking at the FACTS of over a century of seated presidents proving what you THINK incorrect?
I am having a little bit of trouble with that one.
