Before you go calling someone a derogative name, I suggest you actually understand.

It says that ‘natural born’ citizens are NOT defined in any modern statute!

Geez, you are drunker than I thought.

In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes.

What it says is that regardless of whether or not a statute exists defining someone as a natural born citizen (i.e. "In any event"), a statutory natural born citizen is not inherently a natural born citizen for Constitutional purposes. In other words, just because the law declares you a natural born citizen doesn't mean you're eligible for the presidency.
