“14th Amendment Citizens dont qualify for Article 2 Section 1 Sven.”
Ha Ha Ha! Good one. You made me laugh out loud.
Let’s try this. McCain and Cruz have U.S. Citizenship derived from statute as codified in the Immigration and Naturalization Act. Congress has a Constitutional mandate to write legislation on immigration and naturalization, as needed.
Natural born citizenship is not defined in the Constitution and Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to define it. Since Congress does not have Constitutional authority to define it, SCOTUS cannot offer a definitive opinion on the definition of natural born citizen. SCOTUS has opined on some aspects of the definition of natural born citizen, but those opinions are not definitive, complete or final.
The only way to determine who is a natural born citizen is to eliminate those who are not natural born citizens. A naturalized citizen is not a natural born citizen. A statutory citizen is defined in the INA by legislation written by Congress. Congress does not have the Constitutional authority to define a natural born citizen; therefore, a statutory citizen cannot be a natural born citizen.
Sven, there is only one process or means by which one can be a natural born Citizen, by satisfying the necessary and sufficient conditions of birth time (at the moment of birth), birth country (born in the United States), and birth parents (born to U.S. citizen parents). Simply stated, any born citizen who does not satisfy these three conditions, while still being a born citizen under some legal mechanism ( under the Fourteenth Amendment or Congressional Act), is not a natural born Citizen under American common law which is the natural law that provides the constitutional definition of the clause.
