I don’t see the term “natural born citizen” there, if we’re talking about the same case. I see it being said that a child born in the country to an alien is a citizen. But where’s the ruling that he/she is also a “natural born citizen?

The Constitution uses the specific term “natural born citizen”; just plain citizenship doesn’t meet that standard, or else they would have just said “citizen”. Why didn’t they just say “citizen” in the Constitution?

NBC is in both Wong and the Indiana case numerous times. I excerpted throughout this thread from both cases on numerous occasions. I can again if you need me to, but I suggest you go to page 12 of the Indiana case and read for about 5 pages.
