To: Cold Case Posse Supporter

The bottom line is: Being born on US soil makes you a natural born citizen, unless your parents are foreign ambassadors or royalty, or member of an invading army.

And being born an American citizen overseas MOST LIKELY makes you a natural born citizen.

The latter has never been definitively decided upon by the Supreme Court. The former has.

And THAT, my friend, is natural born citizenship in a nutshell.

Well, that settles it.
The Founding Fathers were stupid.
They specifically required Natural Born Citizenship, when born citizen would have sufficed. How ignorant they must have been.

“...Being born on US soil makes you a natural born citizen,..”

In that case, there would be no difference between being a (native born) citizen and being a natural born citizen.

The Constitutional Congress obviously believed otherwise.
