Your claim - and Rawle’s - are contradicted by the Naturalization Act of 1790 et. seq.,

Not true. Those Acts never addressed the status of children born on US soil.

The Report of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court

Are you referring to Samuel Roberts' personal opinion? As we've seen, that is FAR less authoritative than Rawle's.

the holdings of the United States and Mexican Claims Commission

Again, FAR less authoritative than the US Supreme Court

Sen. Trumbull (framer of Amend. 14)

Who never said it took citizen parents for anyone born on US soil to be a natural born citizen. PERIOD.

Once again, all you have is weak and unauthoritative evidence against the great mass of early authorities, plus the US Supreme Court and virtually every real authority throughout US history.

Like I said earlier, it's a pound of evidence on one side of the scale, and 20 pounds of evidence on the other side. You argue that a pound outweighs 20 pounds, because you like the pound.

But it doesn't.

Rawle’s claim - and yours - regarding ECL and citizenship are without foundation.

Neither the Constitution nor Federal statute incorporate ECL, nor is the Judiciary empowered to incorporate it.
