It has been resolved by the 14th amendment - for good or bad.

How does the 14th Amendment resolve the meaning of "natural born citizen" in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5?

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

Statutes passed by Congress pertain to naturalized citizens. Based on my research, Changing or clarifying Article II section 1 would require an amendment to the Constitution.

“It has been resolved by the 14th amendment - for good or bad.”

The 14th Amendment says NOTHING about the definition of a “natural born citizen.”

Anyone who thinks “citizen” and “natural born citizen” are equivalent needs to see this:

No it hasn't. You can't change the nature of someone's birth by passing an amendment.
