Your view has NEVER been true.
You are wrong.
I have already posted the Citizenship rules from the US State Department.
Natural born is the highest level of purity, no dilution, the cleanest title, no blemishes, the highest pedigree, one generation back.
The concept is easy to understand, since its what the title of your car or the deed to your house is saying to you as a buyer or seller.
The concept is easy to understand if you raise, show or sell purebred animals, such as dogs and cats or livestock.
Its easy to understand if youre playing Who is the most Irish? on St. Pattys day, that the person born in Ireland to Irish parents is going to beat any that doesnt start there. The rest are Irish enough for drinks and self-esteem and even a popularity contest, but not the highest standard.
The highest standard, the one that every citizen innately understands and agrees with, is a person born here to American parents is a natural born American citizen. Simple, easy to understand. No argument or disagreements. We start with that highest standard.
It works if you take apply that standard to any other nation and its citizens, where things like citizenship and nationality actually still mean something, even though you claim they dont.
It may not matter to you, but some people want to believe that the one person with that much power over all of us had damn well better be one of us, not by treaty, not by someones law, not by the ruling of a monarch or emperor or judge, but simply because their title is clean and clear, the pedigree is pure one generation back. Love them or hate them, they are one of us.
But if mom or dad or where they are born isnt all American, then their title is blemished.
It can be cleaned up and made whole and good, but the blemish remains and, until the Constitution is changed, is a disqualifier for only one office in all the land and all of that concentrated power.
Mom, Dad and dirt must all agree to keep it in the Natural (not native) Born Family.
Keep it simple. Stop moving the goal posts. Stop changing the rules to fit your moment or the Constitution to fit your agenda.
People who do those things lack integrity and arent to be trusted.
It must be nice having the "truth" poured into you by your "Authority" superiors. Thinking for yourself is such a drag.
Mindless twit.
