The constitution is a very short document..... There is no room to define terms..... but the framers all agreed on the meaning of what they wrote when they authored it. Today because of ignorance and the fact that language over time changes, there is some debate as to some meanings....

When this comes up before the Judiciary, it is their role and duty to make a ruling.

True, but since they did not give a succint and complete definition of Natural Born, they left it up to succeeding generations to define the term.
