Does it? I don’t see where it is explicit.
I searched the text of the Constitution, and it does contain the word “natural born citizen”, but not “native born citizen”. So no clear distinction can be made.
Also, though I am loathe like all the amendments that came after the bill of rights, the 14th did change the the definition of citizen, so an appeal to the founders is moot.
It would be like appealing to the founders about whether women can vote. It doesn’t matter what the founders thought (they probably would have unanimously objected), they put in a way to amend the constitution and new “founders” impact that part of our law. The founding fathers have no bearing on what the 19th amendment means except to ensure it was properly ratified.
I know I probably have few fans here as a non-birther, but nothing makes me more upset than seeing conservatives usurp the Constitution (not the be confused with the Founders in at least 27 cases!). The Constitution and its amendments are pretty clear, we shouldn’t make stuff up about them.
You mean we can't party like it's 1788? Dang!
