Complex thought are not a big strength of yours, are they?

If you think that complex supreme court decisions can be captured in a single sentence, you are wrong.

Why can't you answer a simple question?

Here, let me help you out...
@Ankeny v Governor of Indiana

14 We note the fact that the Court in Wong Kim Ark did not actually pronounce the plaintiff a “natural born Citizen” using the Constitution‟s Article II language is immaterial. For all but forty-four people in our nation‟s history (the forty-four Presidents), the dichotomy between who is a natural born citizen and who is a naturalized citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment is irrelevant. The issue addressed in Wong Kim Ark was whether Mr. Wong Kim Ark was a citizen of the United States on the basis that he was born in the United States. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. at 705, 18 S. Ct. at 478.

Didn't even Ankeny state that Ark wasn't a NBC?
