Why would they "widen" the qualification? I personally see no historical writings (court, our outside of) that would give them reason to do so.

Of course, it's all speculation on what they might do in the future. I suppose just about anything is possible.

Well, they haven’t exactly defined that phrase, and they’ve hinted it’s outside the purview of certain cases before them. So defacto and in reality based on Obama, by inaction they’ve widened it.

But if the SCOTUS actually rules on this, will they widen ‘natural born citizen’ to mean ‘citizen by birth?’ Right, it’s just speculation, because the SCOTUS has decided to do nothing about it.
