It didn’t have to. The Issue of POTUS was not in the case. No Issue regarding POTUS has come before the court. The court can ONLY decide what is brought before it. It isn’t arbitrary. They DID make the clear distinction that there exists a DIFFERENCE. That is why its relevant.

The entire issue of natural-born citizenship was not in the case. It was a voting rights matter.

No, what they said was that there may or may not be a difference. The decision did not rule that there was a difference and what it was.

“They DID make the clear distinction that there exists a DIFFERENCE.”

Well of course there’s a difference. No one denies that. It’s common sense. But the two different means of obtaining citizenship at birth do not result in any difference of status. Both ways have the exact same status.
