It is not possible for humans to define what is natural. We would be arrogantly overstepping our bounds if we ever chose to do so. I think this is why the writers of the 14th Amendment chose not to use the word "natural". It is also why the Framers of the Constitution chose to defer to God's natural law.
Human beings have a natural, deep seated desire to please our parents. I don't know many people who don't give a hoot what mom thinks about their actions.Human Beings have a natural, deep seated desire to please our fathers. We go through life trying to live up to our Daddy's expectations. Why this is so, God only knows, he made us this way. This is true for women, too. That's why we have the old expression "Daddy's little girl".

false, misleading argument. the drafters of the constitution and the judiciary can do do define "natural", the fact that they don't define it as chrisitian, natural law is your problem.
as is constantly said, its the law, whether you like it or not, and if you don't like it, petition congress.
What is "natural" is "by God".
It would probably make more sense to petition the Democratic National Committee and state election boards.
who gave you a monopoly on definitions?
the first amendment keeps your christian definition of natural law separate and away from the way the political process defines natural.
thank the gods for that.
You should read the First Amendment again. Closely.
The Brits had "Natural Born Subjects", not citizens.
Who all love our Moms. I love my Mom. I want her to be happy with me.
Daddy wears the pants. He teaches me how to fight and be a man. He has a leather strap in the woodshed and he'll tan my hide if I don't do the right thing.

Fighting makes one manly? You wish to please your father more because he'll hurt you if you don't? That does not sound like a healthy relationship. All children need discipline and (IMO) corporal punishment has its place, but they should not be bullied into compliance with threats of violence.
There's 20 years of my childhood coming back to haunt me...

It haunts many children of the "Spare the rod" school of thought.

Of course there are more examples, but I figured just bringing up the fact that the fathers of the first 17 presidents would have disqualified them would be enough to hammer the point home of how ignorant this all is.
that's what the clause "at the time" was there for, to cover the people who's parents weren't citizens of a country that didn't exist yet.Clause 5: Qualifications for office
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. See also: natural-born citizen and President of the United States
By the time of their inauguration, the President and Vice President must be:
Eligibility for holding the office of President and Vice-President were modified by subsequent amendments:
- natural born citizens
- The provision of "Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" is no longer significant, as it applied to people living in the United States at the time that the country was formed.
- at least thirty-five years old
- inhabitants of the United States for at least fourteen years.
- The Twelfth Amendment (1804) requires the Vice-President must meet all of the qualifications of being a President.
- The Twenty-second Amendment (1951) prevents a President from being elected more than twice.
Covered!

it's the 6 other Presidents who had one or more foreign-born parent none of the birthers seem interested in.
tulc(is curious why)
Even this dad?Human Beings have a natural, deep seated desire to please our fathers. We go through life trying to live up to our Daddy's expectations. Why this is so, God only knows, he made us this way. This is true for women, too. That's why we have the old expression "Daddy's little girl".
Do I even need to point out how not Scriptural this is?I think a brother would be someone raised to be an American.
