...Washington Journal segment that followed, with call-ins and emails, titled, "Should U.S. presidents be 'natural born' citizens?"

Why don't they just ask, "Should we ignore the Constitution?"

Obviously the answer for both this host and this “professor” is yes. both discuss essentially 14th Amendment citizenship and completely omit any discussion of the Framers and what they meant by the use of the phrase. If this “professor” professes to be teaching constitutional law it is quite disturbing. They speak openly of the meaning of the phrase being determined by “consensus” and the U.S. Code and don’t seem at all interested in the Constitution.
