There is a reason why the Founders used the term natural born citizen..Please show me in the 14 Amendment the words natural born citizen.

Look up the word natural...go back to the 18th Century and beyond. You will find the words Kind, Gecynde, Kindred, family, descent; there are others but will not list them.
.
The Founders use the words “our posterity” in the preamble.

Do not complain to me..complain to the Founders if you have difficulty with the term natural born citizen.

The courts are afraid to touch it..they want this stifled..no evidence for LTC Lakin.

The 21 century is not the same as the 18th.

A natural born citizen is more than born on the soil..more than born to citizen parents....yes the Founders placed a limit who could be President.

Unfortunately for your side of the debate, it appears that the current Justices on the Supreme Court don’t see it that way. Even among the most originalist of them all, Justice Scalia has argued that “jus loci” is what natural born citizen refers to and he argued that point BEFORE Barack Obama was running for President. The appeal was TUAN ANH NGUYEN V. INS from 2001.
And in 1998, in his concurring opinion in Miller v. Albright, Justice Scalia quoted from Wong Kim Ark, the following: The Constitution “contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only: birth and naturalization.” United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702 (1898).

In the 21st Century, there is no distinction under law between a Natural Born Citizen and a Citizen of the United States at birth. If there was such a distinction in the law, Barack Obama would not be president for going on two years now.
