The Constitution contains no definitions, depending upon the common-law and language familiar to the framers.

I agree with that completely. But at the time of the signing of the Constitution, there were several common-law definitions of natural-born citizen.

Look, I thought the criticism of Coulter was over-the-top. Nothing more than that.

Geez, I've gotta learn to stop wading into these birther threads.

Why stop. We often learn something about our history; the contributors are often well informed and cogent, not to mention civilized (as differentiated from savages). On-the-other-hand having to think and respond carefully, and not get paid for it, is a real time sink.
