It’s just a damn shame that the framers didn’t deign to spell out and clearly define what “natural born citizen” means IN the constitution. Instead, they left it up to the (mostly liberal) courts to determine the vague criteria.

Not good.

They left it up to the Congress....not the courts. And Congress defined what constitutes a "natural born citizen" long ago, which definition has appeared on multiple of "birth certificate" threads. The courts have been working diligently, through "precedent" to reverse the clear meaning of the law...just as they have done for EVERY issue in the left's agenda.
