The entire article explains exactly that. The birth certificate Obama offered up to the American public says clearly his father is not a US citizen and that his father is a citizen of Kenya. The key point in the article is the reference (which I thought I cut and pasted) to an earlier Supreme Court decision which (the article says) defines who is a natural born citizen. However, based on my reading, the earlier supreme court decision says that a child born to two US citizen parents living in the US is a natural born citizen. Of course. That decision does not say that that is the only criterion for determining who is and is not a natural born citizen. Based on my reading the earlier decision says nothing about a child born to one US citizen parent on one non-US citizen parent. In other words, saying that a child born to two US citizen parents is a natural born citizen does not, in any way, mean that a child born to one US citizen parent and one non-citizen parent is not a natural born citizen. The statement about the first child;s status says nothing about the second child's status at all. If I missed a bit in the article where the supreme court decided that a natural born citizen MUST have two US citizen parents, please repost it.
