You are just silly.
The Courts said, in the Citations given, that there was NO Constitutional guidance on NBC.
Therefore, the Courts used other authorities available.
Those authorities? Common Law!

Congress then enacted Legislative Law that TRUMPS common law.

Therefore, your Court case citations, ALL OF THEM, are MOOT!

Which means that the 14th amendment does NOT define natural-born citizenship. The common law cited by the SCOTUS is a verbatim match of the law of nations. No law trumps that definition.

That's specious. NBC was commonly understood at the time the Constitution was written, as contemporary documents by the founders indicate.

Therefore, the Courts used other authorities available. Those authorities? Common Law! ... Congress then enacted Legislative Law that TRUMPS common law.

I'm not certain that legislative law trumps Constitution original intent. OTOH reference to US common law and natural law seemingly should be permitted to determine Constitution original intent.
