And how is that a rebuttal?

My point is that the three branches of the Federal government are, as they say, co-equal. None is superior to or subservient to either of the two others. The Supreme Court in Marbury v. Madison arrogated to itself the power to say what terms in the Constitution mean. Neither of the other two branches has fought that result/holding in the 220 years since. So when the time finally comes for us U.S. Americans to have a “definitive” definition for the Constitutional term Natural born Citizen, it will much more than likely come to us by way of a SCOTUS majority decision in a case or controversy involving, at its heart, a dispute between two POTUS candidates, one or both of which will be suffering under an accusation of not being a natural born Citizen. If and when that happens, the Supreme Court Justice writing the majority opinion will certainly undertake an comprehensive analysis geared toward determining the “Original Meaning” of the term in question. In doing so, the court and the justices will defer to absolutely noone. As such, your essay on legislative superiority to, or domination of, the Federal judicial branch, is of no moment.
