Natural-born-citizen clause
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Natural born citizen)
.
"..The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen,
and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise
meaning....
....The natural-born-citizen clause has been mentioned in passing in
several decisions of the United States Supreme Court and lower courts
dealing with the question of eligibility for citizenship by birth, but
the Supreme Court has never directly addressed the question of a
specific presidential or vice-presidential candidate's eligibility as
a natural-born citizen..."
IOW, the courts have yet to discharge their responsibility by
continuing to evade providing a definition of "natural born citizen".
However, according to John Bingham, the primary author of the 14th
amendment to the COTUS:
"Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States
of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the
language of your Constitution itself, a natural-born citizen;..."
(Cong Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Note Bingham articulates parents (plural), not parent (singular) which
would not include Obama as a NBC even if he was born in Hawaii as
Obama so alleges.
