The various laws through the years give insight into what NBC actually meant to the framers of the Constitution, but particularly those of 1790 and 1795 because they had many members of the Constitutional Convention also in Congress, and George Washington, the president who signed those laws, was also the president of the Constitutional Convention. So, THEIR understanding of what was meant by the founders when they wrote “NBC” central and decisive.
So, IF later Congresses MISUNDERSTOOD the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen” and are writing constitutionally questionable laws if applied to presidential qualifications, then the Supreme Court could be called upon to answer the question.
“....then the Supreme Court could be called upon to answer the question. ..”
Would this be the same Supreme Court which gave us UNconstitutional rulings, like abortion, same-sex “marriage,” eminent domain, etc..
NO THANKS.
