I'm not being Sarcastic, making a joke, neither meant disrespect. Though I'm taking a humorous look at the Issue.

This is what the Constitution says in Article II Section I. And I quote in part.
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President;..."

The intended Humor is in the following.
Now, Most human beings like ALL other Creatures are born Through a Natural Process or Naturally. Some people in the Modern World were born via C-Section aka. a Cesarean procedure. So I'm guessing that with all the Fuss made and suspicions brought about the current POTUS not being a born citizen. Then maybe someone born via C-Section could also be in jeopardy of not being allowed to be POTUS, 'cause it was "NOT" the Natural but a Medical way. Then there's the other question that comes to mind; What about those "conceived" in Vitro or by Artificial Insemination?

JUST ASKING!

It has a has a specific meaning: As you are referring to the United States, I will too. It means someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth without needing to go through a naturalization proceeding to attain citizenship.

That part of the Constitution has nothing to do with the method of birth, but whether the individual was born a citizen of the U.S. or was not. In other words, a naturalized citizen is not eligible to be President.

The Fourteenth Amendment also defines who is a citizen.

The adjective "natural" in this use means by Natural Law, not man-made law. See: http://www.art2superpac.com/issues.html
