“...Article 14 Sec 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....”

I know that you know this but, for the benefit of others who may not, “citizen by means of being born in the USA” does NOT ALWAYS EQUAL the constitutional “natural born citizen”.
“I know that you know this but, for the benefit of others who may not, ‘citizen by means of being born in the USA” does NOT ALWAYS EQUAL the constitutional “natural born citizen’.”
Oh, it gets more intricate. Some legal organizations have suggested that the precise meaning of the natural-born-citizen clause may never be decided by the courts because, in the end, presidential eligibility may be determined to be a non-justiciable political question that can be decided only by Congress rather than by the judicial branch of government. And leaving anything to that looney bin is a gamble.
