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.

Congress can make any law that it deems appropriate and it would be up to the Supreme Court to decide whether any particular law is constitutional or not. Right now, Obama opponents in Congress are working on a law to require all Presidential candidates to document their natural born status before running for high office.

However I was talking about CASE law, at the federal district, federal appeals or Supreme Court level not about legislative solutions. There is no definition of Natural Born Citizen in US Supreme Court decisions.

What does Osborn v Bank of the United States have to do with Article Two, Section One, Clause Five?
