I suggest that you read further as to his definition of a “denizen” – who is a citizen that is born in Britain, but has divided loyalties. A denizen enjoys most, if not all of the rights of citizenship – EXCEPT THAT OF HOLDING HIGH OFFICE.

I've forgotten about "a denizen"...well probably since when you last posted about it here on FR.

Oh Wig, you using Blackstone to argue your next to nothing case has been sucked into a blackhole. :-)

House Report No. 784, dated June 22, 1874, stated,
“The United States have not recognized a ‘double allegiance.’ By our law a citizen is bound to be
‘true and faithful’ alone to our government.”

William Lawrence and James F. Wilson

This national rule prevents us from interpreting natural-born citizen under common law rules because it eliminates
the possibility of a child being born with more than one allegiance.
