The 14th Amendment doesn’t have the words “natural born Citizen” in it that’s in Article 2 Section 1, the presidential clause. Why do you think it does. It only contains the word “Citizen”.

Why do you think the 14th omits Natural Born? I’ll tell you why. Because it identifies the failure of the Framers to adequately define and explain what a NBC is.
They screwed up and left a vague unclear definition. Even the 14th did a piss poor job leaving only the word “citizen’.
But that’s enough for all future Supreme Court and lower court decisions from then on to recognize that any citizen (born here or naturalized here) is eligible.
How hard is that to understand?
