@eighties73 Here’s something else, I’ll use the 14th Amendment as an example. Whenever you see “Citizen” or “Citizens”, capitalized, this is the “native born” Citizen level of citizenship with Limited Birthright of “right of the soil” (Jus Soli in Latin). Which is all the freed slaves were granted by the 14th Amendment. This is not a natural born Citizen! Other noteworthy native born Citizens in America’s history include the earliest “Citizens” of the nation pre-1790 naturalization laws and before the naturalized Citizen became a thing, such as most of the founding fathers. They were considered such and retroactively granted such because they were native born residents of the soil, born in what by then was the dissolved British colonies, they were not immigrants, but they were not born of parents who were citizens to be born natural born Citizens. Obviously! They were all born before the U.S.A. existed!
And then! Then there’s what is required by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the original Constitution, and the 12th Amendment. That the person must either have been a citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, or were and are a natural born Citizen. Andrew Jackson was the last of the “native born” Citizens in 1837, but both of his VP’s were natural born Citizens born in the country, of parents who were citizens. Then Martin Van Buren and Richard Mentor Johnson in 1837 were the first two natural born Citizens to occupy both offices. How? Any child born in the country of parents who were citizens since July 4, 1776, were retroactively considered to be natural born Citizens upon adoption of the Constitution.
Some of my ancestors were amongst the earliest “native born” Citizens and natural born Citizens of the nation.
