The problem is that the US Supreme Court has already said the original intent of natural born citizen is found in the common law phrase natural born subject.

No, they haven't said this at all.

Well, good luck trying to get the Supreme Court to address it. They made it pretty clear in 1898 - clear enough that no one has sustained a challenge to the idea in the intervening 110 years. The Indiana courts were in the mainstream of thought when they ruled that any one born in the USA is a natural born citizen.

And EVERY state has apparently concluded the same - any one could challenge the idea in court by simply passing a law (or getting a ruling from the DA) that natural born citizen does NOT allow a foreign citizen parent. Since that state would disagree with Indiana, it would force the Supreme Court to rule.

You can expect or hope for it to happen. I am certain it won’t. We’ll see who is correct. I’ve been wrong before, so I might be again.
