Why would you need the Supreme Court to explain this to you?


Because what I say means nothing. My say is an opinion. What the Supremes say is the final interpretation of the law.

edge919 explains the SCOTUS understanding of the definition. To which, I would add that there were other cases in which SCOTUS reminds us who a "natural born Citizen" is (ex. in Venus).

Not to mention, the father of the 14th Amendment stated the definition in the peoples house a number of times during the debates on the 14th. No other Congressman objected or offered a different definition. They all knew exactly what the definition was. Born in the sovereign territory, to 2 citizen parents owing allegiance to no other country.
