Many persons fifty and older can remember being taught what it meant to be a Natural Born Citizen in school. Unfortunately, it is one of one of those memories from school that needs an event or someone to trigger it before it comes back. One of the most important functions of a healthy brain is prioritizing what is important to an organism's survival. The importance of the meaning of Natural Born Citizen to the survival of a healthy sixteen or seventeen year old to them seems far lower than the information presented in the average pimple cream commercial.
Another example: I see dozens of extremely unpleasant events on a regular basis. When I get subpoenaed and have to look back at the reports that I wrote it brings back vivid memories. If you asked me what I did on a shift a week ago I probably couldn't tell you without some type of prompting.
I have had the unpleasant experience of being questioned by attorneys on numerous occasions. You are using a tactic here that they frequently employ. It is interesting but meaningless that few people were thinking about the long established definition of Natural Born Citizen before the election. The fact that his mother was underage at the time she was impregnated by a communist foreigner and may have been born outside the country was a huge distraction. So I am not going to apologize for not thinking about what I and many others were taught about what it meant to be Natural Born Citizen before someone else saw the forest through the trees.
“Many persons fifty and older can remember being taught what it meant to be a Natural Born Citizen in school.”
If this were actually the case, it should then be a relatively simple matter to produce a civics textbook from the era with this information.
Yet I understand that no one has been able to do this.
I'm kind of surprised that a guy who wrote a bestselling book about his Kenyan father and later went on to run for President didn't jog some memories earlier.
