“Nope. “natural born citizen” = “citizen at birth”.”

“born citizen” = “citizen at birth”

If the citizen at birth / born citizen was the qualification what function does the word “natural” have.

Do you speak English as a first language?

Can you not read the words.

Go back and read my word, Ms. Expert in English. I think I stated myself perfectly with no need to repeat the words. Idiot.

Do you know what the word, "pleonasm" or maybe the phrase "legal doublet" means.

Look up the definitions.

Then look at the US Constitution for possible pleonasms or doublets other than "NBC".

For example see the phrase "letters of marque and reprisal". Then look up the definition of just "letters of marque" which means a "license to engage in reprisal...".

Using your words, what function does the word “reprisal” have?
