No conservative can believe that the Constitution is a living document.
As for the NBC question, I have a brother in law who is a law school professor and he believes in the strict definition of natural born citizen, so strict that he claims one would have to have be born in the USA with two American parents to be a natural born citizen.
That would exclude both Obama and Cruz.
Maybe someone will finally get the question in front of a judge and we will get a definitive answer.
What do you believe?
The same as your BIL and my father who clerked in Federal appellate court system and often won cases there later I his life. My only regret is he is no longer wit us to see this as settled law

That is the definition the founders used and what was cited later in Minor vs Happerset.
That was the standard I was taught and thought everyone knew until Obama came along and suddenly it was good enough just to be born here.
McCain’s fig leaf Resolution cited two citizen parents as the standard.
McCain was as ineligible as Obama and they used that to put an usurper in office.
He is proof of the wisdom of the founders.
I realize you weren’t asking me, but I believe it means Obama, Cruz and
Rubio.
