sorry- left this part out of my post to you

The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship.

Yes there are clearly defined rules, and congress followed them which allowed McCain, Mitch’s Dad, Rubio, Trump, Cruz, Jindal etc all the right to run- What congress doesn’t have the power to do is grant themselves more powers- they do have the right to define what NBC means within the guidelines- which they did

IF someone wishes to refute this, they will need to take it to court and get the courts to overturn Congress’ right to allow NBC as defined and accepted for decades now-

Bob434: The Congress can alter citizenship through regular legislation ... changing the definition of natural born citizen requires amendment. Do you really want the Congress to possess the authority to alter the Constitutional definition of "infringe", or "treaty", or "vote" through regular legislation? No. The Framers did not either. The language of the Constitution is sacrosanct. Original intent stands until amended.

That's nice. But if you think the 14th Amendment had anything to do with Presidential eligibility, you are not playing with a full deck; and are probably one of those folks who think the 14th Amendment IS The Constitution.

Regarding naturalization, I wonder if you just decided to comment without reading what I posted.
