"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also.
These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners."
Chief Justice Waite defines natural-born citizens.....born to citizen parents...he did not say born to citizen parents in France.
no. common knowledge long before the 2008 campaign. yet not a single congressman, judge, law professor or constitutional scholar stated then or now that obama was ineligible because of WKA or minor v happersett.

Do we know if Obama's mother was in Conn. at any time?
No. She does not appear to have been anywhere near Connecticut.

"The Amendment, in clear words and in manifest intent, includes the children born, within the territory of the United States, of all other persons, of whatever race or color, domiciled within the United States. Every citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here, is within the allegiance and the protection, and consequently subject to the jurisdiction, of the United States."
again..Obama's father was never domiciled.
Justice Gray:
"The real object of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, in qualifying the words, "All persons born in the United States" by the addition "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," would appear to have been to exclude, by the fewest and fittest words (besides children of members of the Indian tribes, standing in a peculiar relation to the National Government, unknown to the common law), the two classes of cases -- children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation and children of diplomatic representatives of a foreign State -- both of which, as has already been shown, by the law of England and by our own law from the time of the first settlement of the English colonies in America, had been recognized exceptions to the fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the country."
OMG Dragging Canoe. Do not start this foolishness again. Everyone is still laughing at you.
