"Bret explains "natural born citizen" requirements for president and vice president"
“The Constitution requires that the president be a “natural born citizen,” but does not define the term. That job is left to federal law, in 8 U.S. Code, Section 1401.”
I thought interpretation of language in the Constitution was the job of SCOTUS? Federal law, after all, is whatever passes through the Congress and we know they don’t normally bother to read the laws they pass. At least with SCOTUS, which I know has declined to interpret ‘natural born’ at every opportunity, when they DO interpret Constitutional language, they’ve read every piece of the history behind it and explain their reasoning in their Opinions, dissents, etc.
