‘Congress has no legal authority to define what a NBC is or isn’t.’

I’m curious about that. Didn’t Nancy Pelosi sign Obama’s eligibility form?

The constitution distinguishes between natural born citizen and non natural born citizen and grants congress the expressed power over naturalization only. A naturalized citizen is, by definition, not a natural born citizen. Nowhere does the constitution grant congress the authority to grant the status of natural born citizen to anyone. Only nature can grant that status or fate or God if you prefer.

Furthermore, a natural born citizen can not have his or her citizenship revoked by any law. This is flatly stated in the US code. If congress held the power to define natural born citizenship, they would have the ability to both bestow and revoke natural born citizenship which would, for all intents and purposes, eliminate the distinction between citizen and natural born citizen made in article II section 1, paragraph 5. they would, in effect, be amending the constitution. They would also be violating natural law.

Congress has no authority to define natural born citizen for purposes of presidential eligibility.
