I am developing a new phase of the natural born Citizen (“nbC”) project based upon the proposition that Article II natural-born citizenship should be recognized, preserved, and valued as an intergenerational constitutional asset belonging collectively to the sovereign American people.

The proposed project would have three related components:

1. Codification of a legally and historically defensible definition of “natural born Citizen,” recognizing that final constitutional certainty would ultimately require either controlling Supreme Court construction or a constitutional amendment.
2. Development and protection of the project’s intellectual property—including its original historical research, evidentiary standards, publications, documentary materials, databases, distinctive marks, and economic valuation methodology. The constitutional term and citizenship status themselves would remain public law rather than privately owned property.
3. Establishment of an “nbC Constitutional Heritage Trust,” potentially developing into a congressionally authorized Natural-Born Citizenship Preservation Fund associated with the emerging United States sovereign wealth fund framework.

The central valuation question would be the present national value of preserving an ascertainable presidential-eligibility standard—including the value of constitutional continuity, election integrity, reduced eligibility litigation, consistent governmental recordkeeping, and avoidance of national-security and succession risks.

In short, the objective would be to transform nbC from a periodically litigated eligibility phrase into a documented, measurable, and permanently administered constitutional asset.

This concept may also provide a constructive vehicle for connecting the Article II eligibility question with the Supreme Court’s newly clarified Fourteenth Amendment birthright-citizenship doctrine, while maintaining the distinction between ordinary citizenship and the specific presidential qualification.

I would greatly appreciate your initial thoughts concerning the historical foundation, valuation concept, and the most credible institutional structure for developing this proposal.
