Again, being born here does make one a "citizen", but not necessarily a "natural born citizen"that require both parents being citizens...

Please cite in US law where it say that. This is an imaginary rule that exists nowhere in US law or in any US court ruling.

Again - If you are a US citizen, you are either: 1) A citizen from birth, aka natural-born citizen 2) A naturalized citizen (via immigration process) Everyone in category #1 is eligible to be President.

Natural Born Citizen - The definition of the term, “natural born citizen”, was entered into the Congressional record of the House on March 9, 1866, in comments made by Rep. John Bingham on the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was the precursor to the Fourteenth Amendment. He repeated Vattel’s definition when he said: “[I] find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. . . . ” — John A. Bingham, (R-Ohio) US Congressman, March 9, 1866 Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866), Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes (1866).

WRONG...there is natural citizenship in which no law is required, it's called ‘natural law’ hence the term natural. You get it? NATURAL as in NATURE not STATUTE aka positive law. It requires both parents to be citizens. Then there is citizenship by statute which is what Gray's erroneous opinion referred to in WKA and then you have the naturalized citizens. According to the Declaration & the Constitution, our Federal Union was founded on the “Laws of Nature & of Nature's God” which states that children follow the nationality of the parent(S), not that of the soil as the sovereignty of the Federal Union does not reside in the Federal Government, but in the people of the states. Under natural law, consent of the individual is required and an alien is NOT a sovereign member of our society, thus they can not consent for their children to be members because they hold no political right to do so and neither does the government hold any right to confer citizenship on any individual other than by statute or naturalization. PERIOD!

CITIZENSHIP EITHER FLOWS THROUGH NATURALLY THROUGH THE PARENTS(PLURAL, UNLESS BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK) OT IT COMES VIA THE LAW. BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP TO BABIES BORN TO ALIEN PARENTS in the USA, REGARDLESS OF THE PARENTS LEGAL STATUS, IS CITIZENHIP BY FIAT & NOT BY NATURE DUE TO JUDICIAL ACTIVISM, NOT ACTUAL LAW RATIFIED BY WE THE PEOPLE!
