NO case heard in the Supreme Court has EVER held that birthright citizenship is granted under the 14th Amendment to the children of people in the United States illegally. Or legally, for that matter, if not admitted as immigrants.

Good Point!!!!

True enough, but there are millions of American citizens who obtained their citizenship thru birthright citizenship and hold American passports. IMO, the only way we can change our current laws and practice on birthright citizenship is thru a Consitutional amendment.

Yes, and by the same token, the SCOTUS has never "ruled" on the term "Natural Born Citizen" in context to the COTUS and it's requirements of the President.

If it's "not a problem," why is it that Andrew Jackson was the last President who had a parent born out of the US, back in 1837? More than 150 years ago?

Just a coincidence? Yeah, right...
