incorrect.
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN was used by the founders to insure no split allegiances, at least by birth, as well as no foreign king able to one day be president of the US.
using YOUR understanding, the son of william and kate, if born in NYC, could one day be president and king. OBVIOUSLY, your understanding of the term is incorrect.
and the very first congress did address this... using the common term ‘natural born citizen’ ... which has only been muddied by those trying to get their ineligible candidate into the office.
You obviously have not read the enumerated powers of Congress or the first acts of congress. I used to believe as you did until I educated myself and actually studied the subject.
The 14th Amendment says:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.The bolded part, in the discussion of the amendment, was meant to exclude children of diplomats born in the US. It would also exclude foreign kings and other persons with diplomatic immunity. It would specifically INCLUDE children of legal immigrants.
An argument could be made that the clause would exclude babies born to people illegally in the US.
