But the Constitution is written in common English precisely so that the Common Man may know what the Law is.
I reject the notion that one needs a law degree to understand the Constitution.

What is the common meaning of “natural born citizen”? Does it include someone with non-citizen parents?

If it is the republican version of natural born subject, then the answer is obviously yes. If it came from Vattel - using a translation made 10 years after the Constitution, which is kind of hard to imagine - then the answer is no.

The Supreme Court chose Door Number 1.
