Everything outside of current US law is simply opinion for debating societies.

Everything INSIDE current US law is simply opinion for debating societies.

Once again, US Law cannot change the meaning of the US Constitution. US Law does not have that authority. A Constitutional amendment is required.

Please show us, from the US Constitution, where it definitively defines eligibility as requiring 2 citizen parents at time of birth from someone to be President of the US.

“Natural born citizen” is not defined in the Constitution or anywhere, for that matter, except in the Naturalization Law of 1790. And, as the constitutional body with the power to tell the supreme court that it has no jurisdiction, then Congress is the constitutional interpretation body of final resort. Therefore, it has every right to define “natural born citizen” to carry out its constitutional role.

“The Constitution does not say, in words, who shall be natural born citizens. Resort must be had ELSEWHERE. To determine that.”—SCOTUS, 1875.
