So then your argument is an 'anchor baby' should be eligible to become president in 35 or so years?

Constitutionally yes, they're qualified.

So why such a great fear in letting the courts look into this issue?

Don’t give me the “they already have” line.

You know the courts haven’t clearly defined what the founding fathers meant when they used the term “natural born citizen” as the requirement for POTUS. Why is that phrase there at all if everyone is eligible?

It’s clear to many who have researched this issue that there is are serious questions and little by little, the research is striking down your talking points.

There is plenty of documentation outside of the Constitution which discusses the founding fathers meaning. Let the courts decide the issue.
The SCOTUS has reached beyond the Constitution many times in order to define the meaning.
