and those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements. I think there is or was another requirement. One of my kids was born in Berlin in 1965. I recall the American Consulate (where I went to record the birth and obtain a passport for her.) providing me a booklet with various requirements she needed to fulfill, one of which was to live in the US for 5 continuous years before the age of 21.

The Wikipedia entry you offer is a simplistic one-sided view of "natural born citizen." It does not address most of the historical record in which an American born to two American citizens is argued to be "natural born" as opposed to "native born." Not only were many of the Founders adamant about a future president not having divided allegiances with even one parent of foreign origin, many Supreme Court decisions discussed the issue and Minor vs. Happersett (1875) defined the term. Wikipedia, in your reference, avoids this and this is the way the Left wants it. The recent justia.com scandal is another example of an attempt to whitewash any opposing references to the term "natural born citizen." The founder of that free legal web site (used by a huge majority of legal researchers), a supporter of Obama, in the summer of 2008 scrubbed or allowed to be scrubbed the Minor vs. Happersett case and portions of all other Supreme Court cases that made a reference to that case. Ain't hard to figure out why he did that, is it? If one is to consider the Wikipedia reference you supply, they should also consider a more complete reading of de Vattel's treatment of the term here: birthers.org Leo Donofrio's web site is must reading for anyone wanting a complete legal examination of past Court decisions and proper and faulty interpretations thereof by all. He also documented the criminal justia.com scrubbing of Supreme Court decisions referencing "natural born citizen" during the months leading up to the 2008 presidential election. naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com Another site with innumerable links to the issue of "natural born citizen" can be found here: h2ooflife.wordpress.com Finally, in writing this response, I came across this article, posted three days ago, about the issue of Marco Rubio's eligibility. h2ooflife.wordpress.com CF Rebel
