The simple fact is that Citizenship at birth is defined by the 14th Amendment. That supersedes the common law interpretation in the Original Constitution.

A person born on US soil is a “citizen at birth”, true...regardless of origin of parents, but not catagorized as a “Natural Born Citizen”...Which requires two “Citizen Parents”.

Stop it, you are embarrassing yourself. An amendment to the Constitution is part of the Constitution. If you want to get technical, an amendment, by its definition, supersedes the original Constitution. Or do you think black people count as 2/3rds or whatever of a citizen? Stop, please stop. You are making everyone here stupider.

And show me where you come up with this imaginary difference between a “Natural Born Citizens” and someone “born a citizen”.

Please stop. This is turning into a clown show.

An Ammendment to the Constitution once ratified is in the Constitution. It’s not a “Doesn’t-Quite-Count-Because-It’s-an-Ammendment”, there’s no special category!

The purpose of a constitutional amendment is to change the constitution. The amendment supersedes the original. The amendment becomes the Constitution.

The 14th amendment defines citizenship at birth. Any prior definition would be moot. Slaves were not considered natural born citizens but were granted citizenship because of the 14th Amendment. Under your definition a freed slave who could trace his lineage back to the Mayflower would not have been eligible to be president because his parents weren’t citizens at the time of his birth.

I think the 14th amendment was designed to remedy that problem.

You are never going to win your case. You are just barking at the moon.

Have a nice day.
