All your excellent effort ( and I do mean that ) is based on the unfortunate but mistaken belief in the supremacy of the Congress.
Think about it, an imperial Congress, non-co-equal with the ability to edit, rewrite, interpret the Constitution on the fly. And that is what they would be doing by determining who is in that mysterious category of Natural Born and by extension who can run for President.
Apparently Congress and We The People went through all that trouble with the 13th/14th/15th Amendments when mere statutory law from Congress-critters would have been sufficient? Suffrage, 18-year old vote, Senate elections, Presidential term limits and succession all could have been legislated instead of the actual ratified articles by the States and We The People?
Original Intent is about specific and limited enumerated powers of all the branches, including Congress, not a "fill in the blanks" etch-a-sketch. Their enumerated Article I Section 8 power is only to naturalize ALIENS into plain old CITIZENS. Full stop. This is a mutually exclusive pool of people that does not include the separate pool of Article II Section 1 Natural Born Citizens. Your entire premise misses this point and seems to be aimed at merging them somehow. More here
The most obvious test that your hypothesis fails is the famous edit made from the 1790 Naturalization Law to the 1795 modification, that brought it into line with Original Intent ...
From NEW EVIDENCE: Intent of 1790 Naturalization Act, research from a 1967 House member ...
In 1795, James Madison himself actually expressed concern that some might erroneously infer, from the 1790 Act, that the foreign-born children of American parents actually "are" (not merely "considered as") natural born citizens. McElwee indicates:
Mr. James Madison, who had been a member of the Constitutional Convention and had participated in the drafting of the terms of eligibility for the President, was a member of the Committee of the House, together with Samuel Dexter of Massachusetts and Thomas A. Carnes of Georgia when the matter of the uniform naturalization act was considered in 1795. Here the false inference which such language might suggest with regard to the President was noted, and the Committee sponsored a new naturalization bill which deleted the term "natural-born" from the Act of 1795. (1 Stat 414) The same error was never repeated in any subsequent naturalization act.
Madison is clearly anticipating those like you that will run wildly with the belief that an almighty Congress is in the business of carving Commandments into tablets on high. They most certainly are not. Madison, the most central figure in the Constitution is specifically telling you that Congress does NOT define who a Natural Born Citizen is.
We are seriously going to need a full Constitutional reset. And I don't mean a Mark Levin Article V slate of baby Amendments. I mean a full blown, burn it down to the ground and start over reset. The republic is thoroughly finished if even our own FRiends want a Politburo to compliment the already out of control Supreme Court and a thoroughly compromised and over-reaching executive branch. ~sigh~
If nothing else, I hope some people now can figure out why the simple and clear logic of a time tested boolean algorithm ...
USA born AND citizen mother AND citizen father = NBC
... cuts out all the stupid edge cases and KISS keeps it simple. What possible reason do we have for entertaining anything outside of this envelope? The only reason to argue against this is if your intention is to internationalize/globalize America into a shell of its former self.
I ask those who question this simple algorithm to explain why it is that we have no examples, I said NO EXAMPLES of either Presidents, Candidates or even people running for nomination prior to President DingleBarry? Is it pure coincidence?
Furthermore, if any American citizen begets a Natural Born Citizen anywhere they deliver their baby in the world and anyone that delivers here ( and we'll leave sperm banks out of this ) then unless we are walled in and no-one can enter or leave, after enough time passes eventually every single person on planet Earth will be a NBC. Think about it!
Our suicidal trajectory after 228 years is on track to blast right past Rome and its 1000 years. Visigoths, Mexicans, stick a fork in us right now.
