Is this the very first time the issue of the term “natural born citizen” in ANY context has come up against Congress’ rights without Congress prevailing?
If it isn’t, then I see your carousel and raise you one precedent.
Is this the very first time the issue of the term “natural born citizen†in ANY context has come up against Congress’ rights without Congress prevailing? I don't understand your question. I only know of a few instances in which congress contemplated the condition of "natural born citizen."
One time was just prior to the War of 1812 when it was imperative to distinguish American seaman from British imposters.
And another instance dealing with the Children of Aliens, I think.
