The Founders and Framers made provision for any and all of their original thinking to be altered by constitutional amendment.
In 1868, the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amndment was adopted and since then, whoever qualifies as a “Citizen of the United States At Birth” also qualifies as a natural born citizen.

LOL

yea, that’s complete fantasy.

the 18th amendment was about giving citizenship to the slaves, and the indians by extension. it says absolutely nothing about reclassifying or redefining the concept of a natural born citizen.

Except that one. You can't alter a "natural law." It isn't subject to the amendment process.
