Original intent natural born, not the Congressional act of 1790. Congress nor a court can give or take 'natural born' standing.

Since the definition is not in the Constitution, why can't the Congress or a court give natural born standing?

One either has it or not due to circumstance of birth. Cruz does not have nor can any entity give him 'natural born', only comes from citizen parents.

Since the Constitution doesn't spell it out, Congress has the power, given in the Constitution, to do so. Probably why they wrote the act in 1790, don't you think?

If some have their way “natural born” would be removed. There was no ambiguity to the framers what natural born means... Wonder why some now need to have it defined? I know what it means, and I sure do not need a law degree to understand. I would love to hear Tribe's definition.

Given who gets appointed to the judiciary these day none should want their take...obamacare notwithstanding... Congress has not dared to mess with ‘natural born’ yet. But given the opportunity and the reaction by some of the Cruz supporters just might give some in Congress the notion they need to fix what is not broken

‘Natural born’ is a birthright.. I do not believe any entity has the authority to take another person's birthright...There will never be 100% agreement to end natural born status.
