No, it’s entirely logical since the Constitution gives congress the authority to “To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof. “

Does this give Congress the power to redefine the word "Arms" to mean slingshots? After all, if they are all powerful, not a word in the constitution cannot be redefined to suit them.

I personally believe Congress cannot redefine words in the US Constitution by passing a law. If we allow them to change the meanings, their power is unlimited.

Actually, a born citizen is what a country’s laws says it is.

Watch and see. He’ll run. It will be legal.
