The paper unequivocally states that those born in this country after passage of the 14th are "natural-born citizens". It doesn't say that only those born to two U.S. citizen parents are "natural-born". Why do you think there were papers written about McCain's eligibility and none about Obama's? Because unless he's lying about being born in Hawaii, there's no validity to the claims that he's ineligible. Why did you send me that link to the Michigan law review article if you don't stand by what it says? Maybe you can explain to me why it says that those born in this country are natural-born citizens.
The paper says this specifically:"Those born in the United States are uncontroversially natural born citizens."
Why are there no buts after this statement? Why are there no mentions of the legislative intent you cite or the early 19th century SCOTUS cases you cite? Is Chin being deliberately misleading?
Hey doc!
If it takes a law (statute, amendment) to make you a citizen, you are not a “natural born” citizen.
It’s that simple.
A “natural born” citizen” just is.
