[Conscience of a Conservative]

Let me see if I can follow your logic: In a play written in 1600 (or thereabouts), Shakespeare used the line "Were all thy children kind and natural." That means that, when the Founders wrote the Constitution in 1787, the phrase "natural born citizen" was intended to limit eligibility for the presidency to a certain "Kind." So, in order to be a "natural born citizen" and thus eligible to be President, one must not only be a citizen based on jus soli and jus sanguinis citizenship, one also must be of the right "Kind" - meaning that they must be of Anglo-Saxon descent.

Do I have that right?

You tell us the meaning of natural in natural born citizen.

The Shakespeare reference came from a College professor in the 19th century.

I’ve 100’s examples the meaning of natural, kind and native.

If the 14th and WKA changed this I’ve no idea.

One thing is certain..the Founders placed one class of citizen into a Kind.

The Chinese, Ethiopians, Malays, Slavs, Arabs did not write the Constitution did they. The Founders had every right to do what they did when they used the term natural born citizen.

If you don’t like it..complain to the Founders or call your Congressman to change the Constitution.
