“No, your college history professor did not teach this. Nobody has ever been able to cite any textbook entry at any time that has ever used this definition of NBC.”
Not only did my college professor mention it, my high school teachers also mentioned it.
Now, only an idiot would take today’s textbooks as an authority on anything in American history.
And it was historically accepted throughout American history as being born of citizen parents. It has been an issue with at least one president previously.
The United States Congress passed an understanding when McCain ran for president that he was natural born, since his parents were stationed in Panama when he was born.
And finally, most importantly at all, the Naturalization Act of 1790 directly defines NBC as being born of citizen parents.
And, if anyone wants to apply logic, if the term “natural born citizen” means nothing at all, then why was it placed into the Constitution as one of the three qualifications for being president?
NO elected republican will make a statement about this
