Does SR511 have ANYTHING to do with being born in the USA? No. It only dealt with those born outside the USA.
“Didnt even Ankeny state that Ark wasnt a NBC?”
No, it did not. It said the court did not make a formal ruling that Ark was a NBC because it did not need to. However, the court’s argument used in WKA did lead to the conclusion that Ark was a NBC. Therefor, “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.”

Okay, if that's how you want to read it then who am I to disagree.
Perhaps I should have posted where that footnote came from...
The Court held that Mr. Wong Kim Ark was a citizen of the United States at the time of his birth.14 Based upon the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 (snicker) and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the borders of the United States are natural born Citizens for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.
So then we come to this in Ankeny...
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.
Wasn't WKA ruled a citizen, and not a natural born citizen, and the court ruled that he was a citizen @by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution and not on the basis of Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5?
And let me further ask you this...
Why would a court use a case that had nothing whatsoever to do with determining the NBC status of the person before them when they could have used a case that had the very definition of NBC in its holding?
