Well, IMHO, the whole idea about being “natural born” is that you don’t have to stretch things and mince words and do the hokey-pokey to conclude that the person is a citizen.

No possible conflicting allegiances, born in his native country, both parents citizens.

If you have to make all kinds of twists and turns and do all sorts of finagling then seems to me game over, the person IS NOT a “natural born” citizen.

If we rely on “political correctness” or an “evolving Constitution” then we are no better than the other side.

If people don’t like it, they can amend it. But they can’t ignore it.

If we rely on “political correctness” or an “evolving Constitution” then we are no better than the other side.

The problem with that assumption, is that the Constitution is already clear as to your understanding that "Natural Born" means 2 parents of US Citizenship.

It is not clear.

So this is not about an "evolving Constitution" but about actually establishing the constitutional meaning of the phrase "Natural Born" since no one has been able to point out the complete, concise definition from the Constitution, US Law, or Supreme Court ruling as of yet here on FreeRepublic.
