The only constitutional requirements for eligibility to be president are birth within the United States, being age 35 or above and having 14 years residence in the United States.
You know perfectly well that is *NOT* what the Constitution says. You may be of the opinion that it’s what it means, but that’s what it is, your opinion.
To date there is no case law that defines the term “Natural Born Citizen} as anything other than citizens at birth which is well defined in the US Code of Laws.

To date there is no case law that defines the term “Natural Born Citizen} as anything other than citizens at birth which is well defined in the US Code of Laws. And you think that means anything? The issue only arises in conjunction with eligibility to the office of President, per Article II section 1 of the Constitution. BHO is paying big bucks, or his PAC is, to ensure that no court ever address that issue.

To date there is no case law that defines the term “Natural Born Citizen} as anything other than citizens at birth which is well defined in the US Code of Laws. So? There is also nothing that defines "Natural Born Citizen" as"Citizen at Birth". Of course the way you wrote it, you are saying that that there is some law so defining the term. But there is not.

It's not a power enumerated to Congress to
make any laws pertaining to Consitutional natural born citizenship, jamese777.
That's why there aren't any such laws.
Read Osborn v. Bank Of The U.S. and see but one clear example of the Supreme Court's recognition of this.
