This SCOTUS decision has been gone over with a microscope by legal minds. The Wong Ark decision was not actually in connected with qualifications for President ie NBC status. Keep in mind this interpretation/document is from 2011, so naturally under the authority of Steaming Pile - oops, 0bola, they’re not going to “find” that he was not a NBC.

Personally, >I< prefer strict Constitutional interpretation as written.

However, I think it’s fair to say, The Constitution was not emphatically exactly precise on the issue of soil vs jurisdiction.

What about someone born in an embassy overseas?

I just found the issue somewhat interesting. And as I had that notion logged in my noggin, I wanted to find out if it was true, or not.

Evidently it IS true that the Supreme Court has indicated that Congress can declare the definitions & criteria of Natural Born Citizen.

We can fuss but that seems to be reality. Maybe when Trump & GOP take both houses etc. we can put a more emphatic amendment in place.

On the other hand, there may be more important fish to fry—though I think Natural Soil Born Citizenship for President is important.

Though we all know that does NOT guarantee a non-traitor will get in office.
