Where is the authority for this bold statement? A statute or Congressional resolution (McCain) can not amend the Constitution. It is what it is and under strict interpretation, the Federal courts when interpreting the Constitution must adhere to the original intent of the document at the time of its drafting. The list of “citizens” is taken from the Code so it is a statutorily endowed list by Congress. Congress has no authority to change what the Constitution demands with regard to “natural born citizen.” Under the Constitution, Congress has plenary power with regard to immigration matters but that does not extend to interpreting, changing, or amending the Constitution.

The Constitution makes NO DEMANDS with regard to “nbc”. Read it sometimes.
