14th Amendment Citizens don’t qualify for Article 2 Section 1 Sven. Nowhere in the 14th Amendment will you find the term of art called ‘natural born Citizen’.
“14th Amendment Citizens don’t qualify for Article 2 Section 1 Sven.”
Ha Ha Ha! Good one. You made me laugh out loud.
Let’s try this. McCain and Cruz have U.S. Citizenship derived from statute as codified in the Immigration and Naturalization Act. Congress has a Constitutional mandate to write legislation on immigration and naturalization, as needed.
Natural born citizenship is not defined in the Constitution and Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to define it. Since Congress does not have Constitutional authority to define it, SCOTUS cannot offer a definitive opinion on the definition of natural born citizen. SCOTUS has opined on some aspects of the definition of natural born citizen, but those opinions are not definitive, complete or final.
The only way to determine who is a natural born citizen is to eliminate those who are not natural born citizens. A naturalized citizen is not a natural born citizen. A statutory citizen is defined in the INA by legislation written by Congress. Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to define a natural born citizen; therefore, a statutory citizen cannot be a natural born citizen.
