Puerto Ricans are citizens from birth.

But they are collectively naturalized.

So citizen at birth does NOT equal natural born Citizen.

This some made up definition.

Yes.

But they are collectively naturalized.

They were collectively naturalized in 1917. No one born in Puerto Rico after that day has been or has needed to be. Black people and American Indians were also collectively naturalized at different points in American history. Are all members of those groups not natural born citizens?

So citizen at birth does NOT equal natural born Citizen. This some made up definition.

Yes. You made up a definition.

Agreed! In an effort to justify Obama’s installation as President in spite of his ineligibility, all sorts of redefinitions of NBC are floated.

The sad thing is that there are Conservatives that have been sucked into this and are using it to promote their own favorite ineligible horse.
