you have no idea what the term ‘natural born citizen’ means or why the founders put it in the Constitution.

Yes I do. And yes I do. And yes, it has been decided by the Supreme Court.

Inserting a phrase that many take to mean that it meets the standards of Vattel, who was a Continental philosopher does not mean that Madison, who crafted the Constitution out of basic English Common Law, meant for it to be a separate standard of citizenship.

In fact, that interpretation of the phrase “natural born citizen” is rejected by the Supreme Court on several occasions.

But those who continue to find need for that view continue to ignore the court cases where their argument is rejected outright.
