Apologies for spoiling your point, but this quote doesn't substantiate its claim. Yes, Rogers v. Bellei recognized that Congress has to power to naturalize, but the second sentence is undermined by the first. Art II talks about natural-born citizen and citizenship at the time of the Constitution. IOW, it's recognizing TWO principles of citizenship that pre-exist the Congress and its power to naturalize. Further, your case says:
... thereby retroactively rendering Senator McCain a natural born citizen ...
Do you honestly believe that someone can be retroactively rendered a natural-born citizen??? You said this judge wasn't an anti-birther, but logic like you've shown from the case says otherwise.
“Apologies for spoiling your point, but this quote doesn’t substantiate its claim.”
Ah, no. When you decide to overrule the real court, you’re *demonstrating* my point, not spoiling it. My point, in case you missed it: “Quite different from trying it your imagination, isnt it?”
