“We have in our political system a government of the United States and a government of each of the several States. Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens of its own who owe it allegiance, and whose rights, within its jurisdiction, it must protect. The same person may be at the same time a citizen of the United States and a citizen of a State, but his rights of citizenship under one of these governments will be different from those he has under the other. Slaughter- House Cases, 16 Wall. 74.”
U S v. CRUIKSHANK, 92 U.S. 542,@549 (1875)
Note that this decision occurred even after the 14th amendment was ratified.
Are you trying to insinuate that the court meant for word State to also mean foreign nation?
What I put forth was the LAW, not a court decision. There was no such thing as dual citizenship/dual nationality. Therefore according to US law, the only way to be a natural born citizen was to be born to 2 US citizen parents.
Sorry if this concept is too hard for you to understand, but it was the law and it was the definition for A2 qualification that was adopted & ratified in the constitution.
