Not correct, IMO. But only SCOTUS can say ultimately regarding Obama, which is the question at hand.
WKA was deemed “as much a citizen as the natural-born child of a citizen.” Note the distinction. Two different classes: citizens who are not NBC compared to citizens who are NBC. Both have the same citizen rights, but they are not the same regarding POTUS eligibility.
NBCs and other citizens have equal citizen rights, but the POTUS eligibility is a status at birth independent from citizenship rights.
The Minor court defined NBCs about which there were NO DOUBTS, but said there was doubt as to the citizenship but not the NBC status of children of aliens and foreigners born on US soil. The WKA court reached and resolved the citizenship doubts about WKA a baby born to alien parents on US soil. The WKA court did not change the NBC definition in Minor despite that claim in the non-binding dissent.
If a lower court deems Ark a Natural Born Citizen and SCOTUS affirms the decision without exception - what does that mean?
Read page 2 of the brief by the United States in Wong Kim Ark. It states what the question is before SCOTUS. They are the one appealing. They are the one stating the issue before the court.
Also read Fuller’s dissent.
Btw, the lower court rejected the law of nations and gave an explanation as to why they rejected it.
Again, the lower court’s decision was affirmed without exception.
