[quote=Anonymous]Through all this birth certificate stuff, it is being assumed that there is something sacred about someone's birthplace. Given that he always lived with his mother or her parents, who were undisputed American citizens, he is American by birth, not by naturalization. I can't prove that he satisfies what the founders meant by "natural born", since I am sure they did not have any major discussion in which they came to a consensus. But the idea that someone born in what were then the wild territories of, say, Missouri or Arkansas would someday qualify would probably never have occurred to them, so their intent is obviously not our guide.[/quote]
