And a law which had nothing to do with the meaning of Natural-born citizen.

Exactly. You don't get to redefine the eligibility requirements for the Presidency by accident. An amendment must squarely address an issue for which an Amendment is proposed. I think that is even acknowledged Supreme Court doctrine.

Further, the 14th Amendment did not naturalize the members of the Indian nations, That required a statute in 1926. Incidentally, as a person of Chickasaw descent, I much prefer the Canadian term “First Nations”to the “Native American “thing. Doesn’t that include all of us who are native to this country?
