[PapaBear3625]

the 14th amendment didn’t exist at the time A2S1C5 was written. even if it did, it only addresses citizenship and not natural born status.

If it defines what constitutes "citizenship at birth" (and it does), then the 14th Amendment does indeed define "natural born citizen".

the 14th amendment has nothing to do with whether or not someone is a natural born citizen. being a citizen at birth is not the same as a natural born citizen.

if you’re confused, it’s easy to remember:

a natural born citizen is a citizen naturally... AS THERE ARE NO ALTERNATIVES.
