Cut & paste or typed by my little fingers, the FACTS remain - it was at least a common opinion, supported regularly by the courts, that citizenship was granted by birth in the US even if your parents were not US citizens. And the 14th Amendment use phrasing that, as some of the examples show, meant you could be a foreign citizen and give birth to a US citizen.
Facts. Law. Things courts use.
“The requirement that the president be a “natural born” citizen implies that the framers recognized the principle of jus soli. According to this doctrine – literally meaning the “right to land or ground” – citizenship results from birth within a national territory.” - The Oxford Companion to the Supreme Court of the United States (1992)
“Natural Born Citizenship Clause. The clause of the U.S. Constitution barring persons not born in the United States from the presidency.” - Black’s Law Dictionary, 8th edition (1999)
“Under the longstanding English common-law principle of jus soli, persons born within the territory of the sovereign (other than children of enemy aliens or foreign diplomats) are citizens from birth. Thus, those persons born within the United States are “natural born citizens” and eligible to be President. Much less certain, however, is whether children born abroad of United States citizens are “natural born citizens” eligible to serve as President...” - Ed Meese, THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION (2005)
“What is a natural born citizen? Clearly, someone born in the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen.” - Statement of Senator Orrin Hatch, United States Senate Judiciary Committee, October 5, 2004.
Taking founders, historians & legal scholars words out of context does NOT represent the entire scope of the facts. it is a tool of a deceiver & despot. Tell you leader we aren’t buying it.
