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.

In other words, it isn't.

Yeah, don’t try that lawyerly crap on me. MOST of the terms in the Constitution are not defined IN the constitution. The Specific CONCEPT of the term “Natural Born Citizen” is attributed to Emerich Vattel.

You might not be aware of this, but his book, “Law of Nations” was well known by Franklin, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, John Jay, and all the delegates at the Constitutional Convention. It was more or less used as a blueprint for the entire U.S. Constitution. It was even CITED in the records of the Convention.

Something gets INTO the records of Convention, you’ve got a pretty tough argument claiming they weren’t aware of it.

By the way, I’ve got cites for everything I just said. Try me. :)
