I just don’t see how he meets the natural born constitutional requirement.

Once again, you are calling your opinion of "Natural Born" constitutional base on what?

The constitution very clearly lays out the processes involved by which something can be called constitutional.

1. Amendment.
2. US Law passed by Congress and signed by the President.
3. Supreme Court Ruling.

Nowhere does it state that because someone applies the concept of "original intent" to an opinion, outside of these three constitutionally defined processes that that opinion can be considered constitutional.

This is simply your opinion as to the original intent of the founders on this issue.

So stating your opinion declaratively and as if a fact does noting to prove your position, and after having been pointed out to you several times, borders on deceit.

Does the Congress have the power to pass laws?

Is there a supreme court case affirming that power?

Did the congress have the power to pass laws before that supreme court case?

If the congress did have that power, before any amendment or case, then it was conferred by original intent of the framers through the constitution.
