LOL
I need no authority other than logic.
I am using the “proof” of my opposition on this topic to prove them wrong.
NOBODY on this thread, in support of the radical birther arguments, really understands how the legal system works.
Every single Court case and authority the birthers use says, clearly, in the Court decision, that the Constitution provides no guidance for the definition of the term Natural Born Citizen.

Congress, therefore, does have the right to define the term, as it has done several times.

Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at Birth. The term has always meant the same thing, however the law/rules for obtaining automatic citizenship at birth have changed over time, several times.

You keep saying that without proving that it's true.
Where specifically, has Congress defined the term Natural Born Citizen? It isn't on a passport application and it isn't in Wikipedia, so don't go there...again.

If you want to prove your point then you're going to have to come up with something more than "because I said so" or "go look at an application".
