” Congress was ONLY given authority over those who were born aliens, a.k.a. citizens of another country”

No, that is false. Congressional power over naturalization includes ANY AND ALL aspects of citizenship under ANY AND ALL circumstances.

That had been the actual, real-world precedent under the British Parliament for 100 years before the Constitution was written.

That is what the Founders understood.

that is how the Constitution is read and applied.

Grants of Congressional power are broad, not narrow.

For example, where does it say that the President has the power to fire the head of a department? It is included within the broad power to supervise the heads of departments. It is not explicitly stated.

The Founders state with all perfect clarity that to hold the office of President one must be ‘natural born’. Lawyers love to play ‘god’ with the Constitution, why they even divined a right to kill the unborn and a right to give the sanctity of marriage vows to same sex idiots.

AND here you are trying to play ‘god’ redefining what ‘natural born’ means under the ‘original intent’. S H A M E .. O N .. Y O U!!!!

Pull up your Constitution and note NOTHING has been added to that presidential requirement .... it still reads ‘’ natural born “ akin to a birthright... Esau.
