To: the anti-mahdi

the law does not recognize this third form of citizen. It only recognizes two. Naturalized and those born in the united states (regardless of parents).

The immigration law has changed substantially since the foundings. States no longer control. In the 1930’s limitations were put in place.

Subsequent reforms have even limited claims of birthright citizenship to “must live in the USA (military and territories count) for 10 continous years BEFORE the child is born”. The reason Taitz is a joke is because she continues to screw up basic law. It is similar to anti-second amendment types who focus on the “militia” language rather than the actual law/language/constitution.

If a third form of citizenship needs to be created, then create it by operation of the law.

"the law does not recognize this third form of citizen."

Wrong.

Even Barry's State Department recognizes "native-born," "natural-born" and "naturalized" citizens. All three are citizens, but all three are distinct types of citizens, mentioned separately.

Interpretation 324.2 Reacquisition of citizenship lost by marriage.

....

(3) Nationality Act of 1940; Immigration and Nationality Act . (i) Applicability . The 1936 statute, as amended, was repealed by the Nationality Act of October 14, 1940, which, in turn, was superseded by the current statute; however citizenship restored under the 1936 Act, and the right to take the oath of allegiance thereunder before a naturalization court [edit: a naturalized citizen], were not affected by the later enactments. 37/

Moreover, there were included in section 317(b) of the Nationality Act of 1940, and in current section 324 almost identical provisions providing for the restoration of citizenship to women who would have been repatriated by the 1936 Act, as amended, had their marriages terminated prior to January 13, 1941, or, lacking that factor, had maintained continuous United States residence since that date of the marriage.

Termination of the marriage to an alien continued to be a requirement of the Nationality Act of 1940 and the present law but, under both statutes, the event must have occurred on or after January 13, 1941.

The repatriation provisions of these two most recent enactments also apply to a native- and natural-born citizen woman who expatriated herself by marriage to an alien racially ineligible to citizenship, a category of expatriate not covered by the earlier 1936 legislation.

...

The words "shall be deemed to be a citizen of the United States to the same extent as though her marriage to said alien had taken place on or after September 22, 1922", as they appeared in the 1936 and 1940 statutes, are prospective and restore the status of native-born or natural-born citizen (whichever existed prior to the loss) as of the date citizenship was reacquired.

...

The effect of naturalization under the above statutes was not to erase the previous period of alienage, but to restore the person to the status if naturalized, native, or natural-born citizen, as determined by her status prior to loss
