Thank you. That is exactly what I want our Congress &/or SCOTUS to do - definitively and finally. It is their job, not mine.

We live in a time where all of our long/historically established definitions, such as marriage, for example, or citizenship including "Natural Born Citizen", are under assault by the desires and whims of our current society and its enemies.

From what little I know about human psychology and ego, it's hard for me to believe that the Founding Fathers, who had just put it all on the line in a life or death struggle to establish this country, would have the President, with 1/3 the power of the government and leader of the military, be anything less than a full blooded citizen under any known criteria.

I believe they called someone with the most pure citizenship a "Natural Born Citizen" and it was their desire that the President be a pure American, a Natural Born Citizen of America, with no diluted citizenship or allegiance, as they understood and defined allegiance.

Otoh, it is much easier for me to understand why people would choose to take what was intended to be a pure standard and water it down to an "anything goes" standard.

If you can't change the words, such as with "marriage" or with the words in the Constitution or even in the Bible, then change the meaning of the words.

Unfortunately, we degrade and dilute ourselves one definition at a time to a time when we will call good evil and evil good.

We would do better to strengthen our definitions and defend them, but that's not the time we live in apparently.

Sad it's happening on our watch, but it is what it is...depending on what your meaning of "is" is.
