“CITIZENSHIP EITHER FLOWS THROUGH NATURALLY THROUGH THE PARENTS(PLURAL, UNLESS BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK) OT IT COMES VIA THE LAW.”

Ah, the old “naturalized at birth” argument. Citizenship of the blood and nothing else. Well, not to depress you, but there is no such thing a purely “natural” U.S. citizen (that is, a citizen by parents and not by law). That’s because the U.S. is not natural. It came into being via positive law: namely, the Constitution. No one on earth is a U.S. citizen otherwise than by 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!”

Hold on, the 14th amendment was ratified by judicial activism? What?

I see you are reading challenged. I'll give you a 2nd chance read what I actually wrote. Then maybe you can answer this question for us...

By what form of law did the founders have the authority in which to revolt against England and break all ties with them?

And FYI...no one is a citizen of the United States unless he is 1st a citizen of one of the 50 states or in the case of the ratification of the Constitution, one of the 13 states. Geesh, my 10 yr old granddaughter even knows that one. We're a bottom up Federal Union, not a top down Federal Union. Our Constitution was not written for an all sovereign & powerful central government much to you disliking.
