The fact is that “people” have no value as binding legal precedent. It takes an actual court case at the level of the SCOTUS and one does not exist. When and if the question is resolved it will be resolved on the basis of evidence of the intent of the Framers at the time that the phrase “natural born citizen” was inserted into the Constitution and ratified in the individual states. Subsequent statutes and the Fourteenth Amendment will not be looked to.

You do know that an amendment to the Constitution may change previous parts of the constitution right?
