Your arguments against my statements is nullifying your own prior arguments.

No. Where do you get this idea??

I think I REALLY doesn’t matter.

You appear to be fighting against my statements on a case you are stating is the key to Natural Born Citizenship.

I am here to assist, not to cloud. For example, the Supreme Court decision clearly stated there were "outside" influences on the definition of Natural Born Citizenship. If the Supreme Court had made a decision on definitions beyond de Vattel's, they would have cited these cases. This was not the situation. They could not find any legal precedence to these "two parents born in the U.S." exceptions, especially at any level within the United States court system.

One could conclude they were referencing naturalization or natural born citizen attempts by Congress, or definitions from the Department of State. At this point there is no conclusive evidence to which “authority” they were referring to. It is clear, however, it was not SCOTUS, nor any Federal Court.
