To: Conscience of a Conservative

The way it reads to me..the court holds there is a difference between a natural born and a native born,.

The court states a naturalized citizen has all the rights of a native born citizen but does not say a naturalized citizen has all the rights as a natural born citizen.

The court did not state a native born citizen could be president; however it did state a natural born could be.

It is all very confusing.

Native born and natural born must be mutually exclusive.

No they aren't. With one exception, natural born citizens are native born. But not all native born are natural born. The exceptions involve birth to those serving in the military or diplomatic corps. (that's CORE, not corpse, for all you Obamites out there). Parents must still both be citizens though. The "theory" or "justification" for the exception is that those serving in the armies of the country or in its diplomatic corps have not left the jurisdiction of the nation, even though they are physically absent from its territory.
