No, I say it codified NBC via it's appeal to English common law and the tradition of jus soli. No redefinition at all.
you still have not shown in the deciding opinion where that occurred in the holding of the case
I guess I can quote the relevant part again:
It thus clearly appears that by the law of England for the last three centuries, beginning before the settlement of this country, and continuing to the present day, aliens, while residing in the dominions possessed by the crown of England, were within the allegiance, the obedience, the faith or loyalty, the protection, the power, and the jurisdiction of the English sovereign; and therefore every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born. III. The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.
That pretty much lays out that English common law is jus soli and that such legal position was the standard within the United States since the time of the Declaration to the time of the Ark case.
one Constitutional Amendment does not redefine another unless expressly written in the text and there is not one notation as to that effect.
What is being redefined? NO WHERE does the Constitution define what a natural born citizen is, so how can the 14th Amendment change that definition?
definitely off your rocker and are only in this fight for your own personal agenda which does not include patriotism to our country
So we get back to insults and assumptions. You have no means of actually discussing the points, you have no basis for your claims, so you will call names and call me a traitor.
Sir, you are the worst example of a conservative I have ever seen. You have no logic or reason, you are an emotionally driven, spiteful man. You know nothing of me, you are working against the Constitution and the betterment of these United States by your fanciful insistence to ignore the rule of law and to shun logic. In truth, you are no better than the fascist residing in the White House today; your goals may be different but your actions are as despicable and evil as his. Good day.
The 14th amendment doesn't define or redefine "natural born citizen" it doesn't even mention it. The real purpose of the 14the amendment was to prevent states from denying citizenship to newly freed blacks. It made *all persons* born in the US citizens. It also made "all persons naturalized in the US" citizens. It made neither class of citizens natural born.
The term could be redefined from it's original 1787 meaning, but the amendment would be very specific. "All persons ... new criteria... are natural born citizens of the United States. Just because the 14th uses the words born and citizen, doesn't mean it's redefined "natural born".
