I do not disagree with you on your analysis of the 14th and it is that understanding of the 14th and how it has been interpreted that should help you realize that there is no way the present Court is going to did up writing from the 18th century to try to determine the definition of a natural born citizen.
Scalia recently used that 18th century book as a reference for something he was talking about - I think at a speech he gave. More knowledgeable freepers wrote about it.
Why do you want 0bama to be president and care nothing about his lack of eligibility so much? Do you like him or something?
But that is exactly what the court should, must and, I believe, will do. We have an originalist bloc on the Court that is persuasive enough to see that this is done.
But, fingers are crossed.
