But it is an attempt to promote a FALSE understanding to claim that the 14th amendment was intended to address "Presidents and Vice Presidents."
The 14th amendment was quite explicitly intended to grant former slaves a path to citizenship, and it deliberately omitted usage of the words "natural born" to describe such citizens it created. In addition, we have the words of Justice Waite not but seven years later proclaiming the 14th does NOT address that point.
The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens.
Are you suggesting the man is SO STUPID as to have failed to notice the 14th amendment? The Very Amendment by which Minor's argument was based?
I regard Justice Waite's comment to be the most authoritative voice explicitly declaring that "natural citizenship" is not addressed by the 14th amendment.
The 14th Amendment was an act of Mass Naturalization, targeted at Former slaves. Anyone who is a citizen by operation of the 14th, is NOT a "natural citizen." Their Children are, but they themselves are not. They are "naturalized" citizens.
There is no one alive today who was “mass naturalized” by the 14th Amendment.
I realize that you find great fault with this but over the last 145 years since 1868, Article II, Section 1 natural-born citizens and 14th Amendment Citizens of the United States at Birth have merged in the minds of a majority of Americans including judges and members of Congress.
