This judge contradicted himself the same way Ankeny did, a decision which was self-admittedly not supported by any legal precedent. The same Supreme Court that said, “Every person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, becomes at once a citizen of the United States ...” (a citation of the 14th amendment) also said, “In Minor v. Happersett, Chief Justice Waite, when construing, in behalf of the court, the very provision of the Fourteenth Amendment now in question, said: “The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens.” How does same provision from the Constitution simulatenously say and not say who are natural-born citizens??

He cites the 14th ( conflating citizen with natural-born citizen ). So if citizen were the same as natural-born citizen as Lewis claims, then the 14th could be rewritten as :

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are natural born citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.

Does Lewis seriously believe that a naturalized citizen ( one born out of the US ) is a natural born citizen and eligible to be president ?
