That bill is BS!
The text... “Natural born citizen” means having been declared a national and citizen of the United States at birth or having been declared a national and United States citizen under federal law as it existed at the time of the nominee’s birth.
The State of Missouri can't define, or redefine in this instance, “natural born citizen”. Nor is a natural born citizen "declared". A natural born citizen simply is a natural born citizen.

And the only citizenship laws that the federal government can make are those pertaining to naturalization per Article I, Section 8, Clause 4.

The State of Missouri is trying to lie to it's own Citizens.

And this is a point that so many people simply do not comprehend. Congress has no power to change the meaning of Constitutional terms. Congress' power regarding citizenship extends ONLY to "naturalization". (Adopted Citizens.)

It is astonishing how ignorant people are in regards to the limitations of congress.
