My argument is that it doesn’t matter what it says. An Act of Congress cannot override an Article of the Constitution. The Act is only useful for the window into the mind of the founders. It cannot redefine Article II.

And where does Article II define natural born citizen?

“And where does Article II define natural born citizen? “

It is defined in the unabridged index contained at the end of the Constitution, where other commonly understood terms such as “We the People”, “Freedom of Speech”, and “The Right to Keep and Bear Arms” are also defined.

Yeah, didn’t you know that ALL the terms used in the Constitution are explicitly defined in the Index? You see, people back then couldn’t remember the meanings of various words and phrases in English, so they had to constantly remind themselves what the meaning of these common words and phrases meant, so they were constantly referencing this unabridged index during their everyday lives.

Fortunately, we are much smarter than they are, because some of us have figured out that specific words and phrases can have any meaning we want,(living document you know.) especially when we don’t like the original meaning.

For example: some of us believe that if we plop out on a bit of dirt, we will have automatically qualified to lead the government of that bit of dirt. This same theory explains how we get horses. People born in a Stable are automatically a horses!

This same phenomena worked in England. That’s how we got the nobility. People born in Manor houses were nobility, and people born in ordinary villages were peasants. Once in a while a peasant would sneak into the manor house to give birth, and the Nobility would acquire a new member!
