As discussed in WKA, blacks were considered property and thus could not be citizens, while Indians were treated separately in the Constitution, being members of foreign nations inside the USA.

The critical statement remains:

““The same rule [the rule applying to natural born subjects] was in force in all the English Colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the Constitution [as natural born citizens, since we were no longer subjects] as originally established.”

IOW, the rule applied to subjects in the colonies continued to be applied to citizens after Independence. Thus, NBS = NBC.

What you cited does NOT say this in even the most remote or convoluted fashion. At best, it says NBS = NBS. That's it.

Mr Rogers, Obama was born a member of a foreign nation. The Democratic National Committee admitted Obama's citizenship status was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 on the Fight The Smears website.

That confirms what I said... NOT every child born in the U.S. was a natural born citizen. Some children born in the U.S. were not even citizens, at all.
