Recent threads on the issue of Natural Born citizenship of had hundreds of replies here on Free Republic.
There is no Free Republic consensus on this subject. I don’t know if the 14th amendment has anything to do with presidential eligibility.
To ascertain the correct definition of a natural born citizen, you need to know why it was placed in the Constitution. It was there to make sure, as far as possible, our elected presidents’ loyalties lie solely with the Republic.
It does not, but far too many people think it does.
The Supreme court has held a strict methodology for interpreting constitutional law, and one of the provisions of their methodology is you don't get to amend the constitution by accident.
Any reading of the constitution that does not specifically address the particular constitutional point in contention cannot be construed to have modified the Constitution inadvertently.
The 14th was not created for the purpose of modifying Presidential eligibility, therefore it cannot be interpreted as having done so.
And besides that, it only says "citizens", it doesn't say "natural born citizens."
The people who debated the amendment said the 14th amendment was a "naturalization" of former slaves. They literally say that anyone who is made a citizen by the 14th is a naturalized person.
