14th Amendment. Like it or not, it is the law.
You are really cruisin' for a bruisin' on this thread ...
You were asked to supply your documentation - you answered, "14th Amendment."
Well, here is the relevant part:
" 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside ..."
Just WHERE does it say "natural born"? And DO NOT give me your opinion ...
Has nothing to do with Natural Born Citizen and POTUS.
Yes its the law, and its the most mis-interpreted and rewritten of all of our laws. The 14th amendment never changed the meaning of natural born as referenced by the amendment's author John Bingham with his statement:
"I find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen;..." (Representative John Bingham (OH) - as found in "The Congressional Globe" - House of Representatives - 39th Congress - 1st Session - 1866 - page 1291.
Again Attorney Mario Apuzzo explains what the 14th amendment is and isn't.
Your definition of the 14th would allow Osama Bin Laden to impregnate one of his wives, ship her here to give birth, raise the child in his cave, then return the child to the U.S. as an adult, send him to college here, let him live here for 14 years, and at the age of 35 run for President. Hardly what the framers had in mind or Rep. Bingham!!!!!
