Some say? The Constitution says.

The term ‘Natural Born Citizen’ was derived from “Law of Nations”:

This is where the term originally came from.

That’s pretty good, chopperman. I’ve been searching for the definition of “natural born”...any definition, that has some legal and logical heft.

There are not that many clear cut cases I can hang my hat on, but yours is pretty clear.

While I have some skepticm with regard to the application, at least it provides another stepping stone in my research.

Thanks for posting it.
