I have a question regarding the term — NATURAL BORN.

The framers did not define what it means in the constitution which tells me that they ASSUME that people knew what it meant back then.

Are there any documents ( legal or other authoritatively written one ) that tell us what the term NATURAL BORN meant as originally understood ?

This is a sticking point issue because many people confuse the term NATIVE BORN with NATURAL BORN.

What we need is a good, legal definition of these terms and an explanation of their differences.

Thanks.

Read Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. No time now to find exact paragraph; will later.
