Thanks for posting this. I found the links very useful, and was a nice neutral gesture.

It is apparent to me that the natural-born clause is not a definer of a class of citizenship, but an additional criterion added after passing the citizenship requirements. One can define citizenship in any way possible, but must still apply the natural-born test, as described by Founding Father Thomas Paine, afterwards.

My pleasure. I have a peculiar attitude towards snippets. While they can be informative all too often they're used incorrectly to slant an argument in a particular direction and they often don't sufficiently convey the full intent of the speaker.

Even if only one person found them useful that makes the effort worthwhile.
