The natives are restless... Ever heard that? It refers to people born in country, ergo NATIVE to the country. But citizenship is a SOCIAL compact, so natives are not necessarily even citizens, let alone natural born citizens. You are playing in an arena, but you don’t know what town your in, what game is being played, or what the rules are. Go home, get a book, read for a long time, then come back and say you are sorry.

If you mean social contract, that is not law.

You still refuse to cite any CONTEMPORANEOUS source (or any source other than yours say so..) while you state that the meaning at the time of the constitution is what matters.

Where as I have done so to define CITIZEN since NATURAL BORN is a subset of CITIZEN the 1828 defined by Webster stands as the correct one.

But to belabor the point

“the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens”

1st US congress 1790

Or do you claim that you and not they are in better standing to know what NATURAL BORN CITIZEN meant at that time ?
