Yes you are missing something and I don’t mean any disrespect as it is an issue that has been lost over many generations. See Post #73 to get some sense of the historical background.

What so many of us are missing today is the meaning of ‘natural born citizen’ versus ‘citizen by birth’ versus ‘naturalized citizen’. All of legal definitions of these terms are rooted in meanings held in English Common Law.

We must insist that the Supreme Court revisit the meanings as intended by the Founders at the time of drafting the Constitution. The Supreme Court can task several legal scholars at Harvard, Yale and other old and venerable repositories of both English Common Law and American Law. Several scholars have already done this and they have arrived at the conclusion I summarize for them in Post #73.

They arrived at the conclusions they wanted. No great feat, that.
