It was in an earlier post of mine.  Here is the quote from Wikipedia I posted:

>From Wikipedia:"The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated that

The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term 
"natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. 
citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the 
United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien 
parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born 
in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at 
birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a 
U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" 
required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.[1]

The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several decisions of the United States Supreme Court
 and lower courts dealing with the question of eligibility for 
citizenship by birth, but the Supreme Court has never directly addressed
 the question of a specific presidential or vice-presidential 
candidate's eligibility as a natural-born citizen."

Here is the link to the "natural born citizen" Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause

Here is a link to the actual report (as cited by the Wikipedia page): http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R42097.pdf

I haven't read the report in it's entirety yet.
