If you ever return to reality, you’ll understand that
1401 tells you who is a natural born citizen.

Oh, really?! You need to do your homework, son.

Clue in Congress on you false presupposition, as they have
tried to define "Natural Born Citizen" — attemping nearly
30 times since the 1870s — and HAVE been UNABLE to do so,
always breaking down in Committee.


Here's one of their last attempts in 2004:


108th CONGRESS

2d Session

S. 2128

To define the term `natural born Citizen' as used in the Constitution of the United States to establish eligibility for the Office of President.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

February 25, 2004

Mr. NICKLES (for himself, Ms. LANDRIEU, and Mr. INHOFE) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary


A BILL

To define the term `natural born Citizen' as used in the Constitution of the United States to establish eligibility for the Office of President.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the `Natural Born Citizen Act'.

SEC. 2. DEFINITION OF `NATURAL BORN CITIZEN' .

I had forgotten about that attempted unconstitutional legislation. I haven’t seen you post it in awhile. :-)
