Do you have any legal authority for that position? Foreign daddy, American mom, born in foreign country. I don’t see any legal difference yet, except one is a commie and one isn’t.

Not so that I could express the argument with justice. This issue is the one that is unsettled. One side will say WKA controls, the other side (which is correct) will say that WKA is only a citizenship case. There is sound authority for my position, I didn't arrive at it lightly. But is not near as simple and easy to understand as the one against Cruz.

I answered a different question earlier. The question you are asking pertains to Cruz.

The legal support, that Bellei is a naturalized citizen, is a premise (has no bearing on the decision of the case, just that case only arises because Bellei was naturalized) in the case of Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971)

The case looks at the constitution, 14th amendment, and the Act of Congress that made Bellei a citizen of the US at birth, with no naturalization ceremony.
