Uh, no. It has never been actually defined in the context of Section 1 Article 2,

Oh -- so then for 220 years of American electoral history, no one running for the Presidency knew what it meant???? It was just a coincidence that all of them except one met the qualifications of "natural born citizen" defined by Justice Marshall in The Venus case as early as 1824???

so it therefore defaults to the accepted interpretation, in the year of 2010, of what a natural born citizen is:

Oh --- so then we in 2010 get to change the meaning of the words of a document written 220 years ago??? Can we change the definition again in 4 years and 4 years after that???

Isn't it true that your real name is Humpty Dumpty???

"It was just a coincidence that all of them except one met the qualifications of "natural born citizen" defined by Justice Marshall in The Venus case as early as 1824???"

Huh?

The Venus case never even mentions "natural born citizens." So how could it define it?
