Actually Franck might be surprised that Ron Paul has a question about it and so did Newsmax. Hardly the liberal bastions I would think. The argument for him being legal is from a congressional act of 1790 that says those born overseas by US parents are considered natural born citizens.
My question would be then if a act of congress is enough to "clarify" a portion of the constitution at what point do we need a constitutional ammendment? If the act of congress is good enough then what other portions of the constitution will need to be clarified?
