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
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization> " to become a U.S. citizen.[1]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#cite_note-1> 

The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in several
decisions of the United States Supreme Court
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States>  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.
