Okay. So when, in response to "you will not find a reputable lawyer or a court to back your fantasies up," you wrote "Here is one, Frederick Van Dyne Assistant Solicitor US Department of State," what you really meant was "No, I guess I won't."

Lynch was not a Supreme Court case. I never said it was. I was following your link to your expert--the comment that "The executive departments of our government have repeatedly affirmed this doctrine" was van Dyne's. He also writes,

The Constitution of the United States, whille it recognized citizenship of the United States in prescribing the qualifications of the President, Senators, and Representatives, contained no definition of citizenship until the adoption of the 14th Amendment, in 1868; nor did Congress attempt to define it until the passage of the civil rights act, in 1866. Prior to this time the subject of citizenship by birth was generally held to be regulated by the common law, by which all persons born within the limits and allegiance of the United States were deemed to be natural-born citizens thereof.
Again, thanks for pointing out such a clear resource.
