No. Of course the Constitution must be adhered to. I just don’t believe in the “two citizen parents = natural born citizen” argument.

And neither does the Supreme Court, the rest of the legal system, any conservative legal organizations, or any major conservative politician.

Here’s 2 conservative organizations for you...

Van Irion / Liberty Legal Foundation

http://libertylegalfoundation.org/

Larry Klayman / Freedom Watch

I guess Alan Keyes was not a major conservative politician...

What about anchor babies?

I mean, if we are going to allow one US citizen parent = natural born then why stop there? Really. Let the people be the judge as you stated. Why not just say, born on US soil = natural born?

I know what you are saying about the SCOTUS, legal system, etc.. and yes, it seems they are on your side on this issue.

I am not saying I agree with it, and I believe they need to address this issue once and for all, but I concede your point.

Does inaction on behalf of these authorities make it law? Do you personally believe this issue needs to be resolved?

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, Haran1196!

Read the Minor decision and the case information. The SC did indeed define Natural Born Citizen. And if today’s court does not with to adhere to the precedent and the Constitution, we need a new Court.

And what reason do you have not to believe it?

That is irrelevant as to whether or not it is true. Do not base your understanding of the truth on what the crowd says. That is a fallacy called "Argumentum ad Populum." (Argument that the crowd agrees with you.)

To know what is the truth regarding the original and correct meaning of the term "natural born citizen" you have to do research as to where the term originated and what was it's intended purpose.

I have pointed out to people many times, if your interpretation of the term does not prevent foreign influence, how can it be correct if it doesn't accomplish what the founders intended?

A Definition that does not accomplish the task intended for the term, is an incorrect definition.
