I see......then according to you the 14th Amendment changed the qualification requirements for obtaining the office of the presidency? It's strange that this information is no where to be found in the Amendment itself.
Precedent in many Supreme Court rulings has indicated that "Any clause in the Constitution is intended to have effect". Chief Justice Marshall (Marbury v. Madison 1803) said, "We cannot interpret the Constitution in a manner that renders a portion of the Constitution to be without effect".
The "Natural Born Clause" was inserted into the document for a precise reason and the 14th Amendment had nothing to do with it. The Constitution does not specify the precise meaning of "Natural Born Citizen" so we must resort to other documents to ascertain the meaning (Minor v Happersett 1874). This ruling occurred after the 14th amendment.....so obviously the Supreme Court is still seeking the precise explanation. Wouldn't this indicate to you that the Court itself considered the "Clause" to still be Constitutional?
Here is the ruling from (U.S. v Wong Kim Ark 1898):
The Constitution of the United States, as originally adopted, uses the words "citizen of the United States," and "natural-born citizen of the United States." ... The Constitution nowhere defines the meaning of these words, either by way of inclusion or of exclusion, except insofar as this is done by the affirmative declaration that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." In this as in other respects, it must be interpreted in the light of the common law, the principles and history of which were familiarly known to the framers of the Constitution.
Again......years after the 14th Amendment was ratified......the Court is still dealing with the issue. The 14th Amendment did not have anything to do with the "Natural Born Citizen" clause of Article II Section I of the Constitution.
No. The 14th didn't "change" anything other than re-enforce and acknowledged that one could become a United States "citizen" by either being "born" or "naturalized" in the United States.
From the Congressional Research Service: (Page 2)
"There is no provision in the Constitution and no controlling American case law to support a contention that the citizenship of ones parents governs the eligibility of a native born U.S. citizen to be President."
