To: plain talk

“They added that nobody has the right to have his definition of “natural-born” enshrined by the courts. Meaning you’ll have to look elsewhere.” {RB}

Thanks for posting that info. Not directing this to you but it seems like an odd response. The Constitution uses the term and it seems that somehow our government should have an official definition of the term and what it means.” {PT}

***************

What it means is that they’re not going to hear any lawsuits based upon defining the term NBC, but will defer to Congress, if it desires to pass a law defining NBC. Congress, natch, won’t ever do it, so if it’s that important to anyone, they’ll have to do it by an amendment to COTUS. For now, by actual practice, NBC=citizen by birth.
