 They can't find two natural born citizens out of 300 million people?

What the heck is wrong with both the Democrat and the Republican parties? In a nation of more than 300 million people, can neither one find natural born citizens to run for president?

1. Obama is not a natural born citizen because he did not have two U.S. citizen parents on the date of his birth. He was born with divided loyalties because his father was a citizen of the United Kingdom. (In 1961, Kenya had not yet gained its independence from Great Britain.)

2. John McCain was born in Panama to two U.S. citizen parents. (His father was a naval officer stationed in Panama.) There is a question as to whether McCain was born at the Coco Solo Naval Air Station (and therefore on U.S. property) or in the hospital in the city of Colon. If the latter is true, a case can be made that McCain is not a natural born citizen—although he is certainly a U.S. citizen.

3. Although Mitt Romney was born in Michigan, his father George was born in Mexico. There is some question as to whether George's Mormon missionary parents became Mexican citizens. (The assumption is that they did, because they owned property in Mexico.) If George Romney became a naturalized U.S. citizen before Mitt’s birth, then Mitt Romney is a natural born citizen. (But George Romney was not a natural born citizen if his parents were Mexican citizens. George would only have been a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was eligible to serve as Governor of Michigan, but not as president.)

4. Marco Rubio was born in Florida to two Cuban citizen parents. He is therefore not a natural born citizen.

5. Bobby Jindal was born in the United States to two Indian citizen parents. He is therefore not a natural born citizen.

6. Rick Santorum’s father, Aldo Santorum, was born in Italy and subsequently emigrated to the United States. Candidate Santorum has not released any evidence showing when, if ever, his father became a naturalized U.S. citizen. A Freedom of Information Act request produced a response from the National Archives and Records Administration stating that it was unable to find any naturalization records for Aldo Santorum. If they exist, they exist elsewhere. (It may be that Rick Santorum’s father, although he entered the United States legally, never became a naturalized U.S. citizen—or he did not do so until after his son Rick’s birth. If that is the case, then Rick Santorum is, like Obama, ineligible to serve as president because he is not a natural born citizen.)
