I'm not talking about case history. Much to your dismay & common practice, case history is not law in itself as recently stated by Breyer & Scalia. Also, why do you refuse to read the works of the ‘forgotten founder’. You claim to know the law, yet you have not given one reference from any founder as to the laws origin. Do you think that Congress commissioned Wilson to write the 1st commentaries on American law just for the fun of it? And why was it he they commissioned? Maybe because it is his works that one must start with when attempting to define original intent and he was so outspoken about the fact that Blackstone & English feudal law being in complete conflict with the laws adopted by the US. Yep, that would be my conclusion because like I said, what better place to start than by reading & studying the works of the framer who was only second to Madison during the framing and it was Wilson's pen who put the words on the parchment.

And you’ll ignore the enacting of the Constitution by the first Congress, even when that Congress contained most of the Founders.

So I’ll leave you with this: please provide an explicit definition - from settled US case law or a legal formation document like the Constitution - of what a Natural Born Citizen is.

The point is THERE ISN’T ONE. And thus running around and claiming what it is simply is illogical and untenable and definitely not reasonable. There’s not settled definition nor written in US statute definition. You cannot reasonably claim Obama is or isn’t a natural born citizen because you cannot provide proof.

So I guess I’ll bid everyone adieu here...
