[Nero Germanicus]

Since the adoption of the 14th Amendment in 1865, there are only two types of American citizens: born and naturalized. There is no third variety, “natural born” that is distinct from a “Citizen of the United States at Birthwhich is the statutory term.

Ankeny v. Daniels, Indiana
A three judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled unanimously: “Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by [the Supreme Court in its 1898 decision in U.S. v.] Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the United States are ‘natural born citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”—Indiana Court of Appeals, November 12, 2009

There are “born citizens” and “Natural born citizens “.

The founders recognized the distinction by changing the language in the draft of the constitution, after John Hays letter to Washington.

So what is that difference that the founders recognized?

George Washington recognized? Hamilton recognized? That John Jay recognized?

Enlighten us. What is it?

Next time I need some guidance on the Constitution I'll be sure to check in with the Hoosiers! LOL

The language and explanation bothers me because the two sons of Ousted Egyptian President( ?) were born in the USA and I fear there are many Muslims in and out of closets that would support a Muslim POTUSA actually to get such elected. I tend to think we did that anyway with Obama.

I took a look. NBC, It’s still in the constitution.

Juan McCain said he is one. Why boher if it not on the books?

You see, fate, its the hand we are dealt, we mortals. That wild card in life, called love, it comes and goes. We only have it for a short while. We yearn for it. But naturally, we come here alone and we leave alone. Naturally. There are no two ways. So we hold our loved one dear, know this truth.

Your efforts are valiant Dear Germanicus, but up against the likes of Washington, tis futile. His constitution is as clear as sunlight on a july morning. NBC has never been amended, yet you say it was, and yet, before, you may say it never needed to be? This argument you pose, it is like a river after a hundred horse have crossed it. We can not see the bottom.
