Yep. Just a giant conspiracy involving all 50 states, most of the voters, 535 out of 535 Congressmen, and the US Supreme Court.
Have fun storming the castle!
“If “natural born citizen” is a synonym for “citizen,” then there is no reason for adding the exception “or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution.”
NBC differs from a naturalized citizen. It means someone whose natural allegiance is to the US since they were born here.
1. If the natural born allegiance were only associated with the place of one’s birth what would be the natural born citizenship of a baby born to US citizen parents on a ship sailing under the Liberian flag in international waters?
2. If a baby was born in the USA to illegal aliens (Mexican citizens), what is the natural born citizen status of this child?
3. If the same Mexican citizen parents had a baby born in Switzerland, would the baby be a natural born citizen of Switzerland?
