“Birthers’ made-up definition of Natural Born Citizen will not impede Harris in the slightest should she decide to run.”

“made-up definition”???

The Founders who wrote the Constitution were the original birthers, and they defined the term “natural born citizen” directly in the Naturalization Act of 1790 as one who is born from citizen parents.

That is what the history professor taught us in college, but that was before it became racist to accept that.

"They defined the term “natural born citizen” directly in the Naturalization Act of 1790 as one who is born from citizen parents."

That original legislation also limited it to only white people and it has since been repealed by further immigration laws within the founders lifetimes. There are some good things in that act, however it should really not be used as a basis for our modern day immigration.

I think if you took the totality of the laws passed during the founders lifetimes, we could agree that they believed that citizenship is dependent on the parent's citizenship and not on where the child is born.

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.
