That’s the point I was making, with the caveat that the sort of citizenship (native vs. natural) conveyed in Amendment 14 has never been clearly defined by SCOTUS: We just pretend to know what it means. That’s the loophole the Obamas and Harris’s of the world are driving through.
Precisely. This is why citizens of US Territory Puerto Rico can’t be eligible to be a President of the United States. The 14th Amendment makes them statutory Citizens but not Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizens. They can only be eligible for lawmakers in the Senate or House of Representatives but not for the Oval Office.
The SCOTUS case Minor vs Happersett defines natural born Citizen.
Sure SCOTUS has defined Natural Born Citizenship. It was in a 1908 case, Wong Kim Ark. The case is online, but this is better. This is a link to a Law Review article about the case from 1898:
