As the two of you know...John Bingham, "father" of the 14th Amendment, the abolitionist congressman from Ohio who prosecuted Lincoln's assassins, reaffirmed the definition known to the framers by saying this:

commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))"

John Bingham, "father" of the 14th Amendment,

God forbid that we, as searchers for truth, go to a primary source, the actual authors of the words themselves, for the original intent, the definition, the clarification and the understanding of what our own Constitution says and means.

Instead we are ridiculed by elitist statists who want us to accept politically-tainted and intellectually-dishonest secondary and tertiary sources that deliberately ignore those primary sources, and throw temper tantrums just like Obama and call others names when we don't accept their subterfuge.
