“I’m pretty sure that’s incorrect; if someone is born a US Citizen via the 14th Amendment then are they not statutory citizens and therefore not natural born citizens? “

No. Statues are laws. The Constitution is a bit different. In any case, the US Supreme Court said the set of NBC citizens and the set of 14th amendment citizens are one and the same. The exclusions used in the 14th already applied due to the meaning of the NBC clause.

So the Constitution isn't a law? That's funny, I'd always thought it was the supreme law of the land... but since it isn't that means that the government running roughshod all over it is no big deal: they aren't breaking any laws.

In any case, the US Supreme Court said the set of NBC citizens and the set of 14th amendment citizens are one and the same.

Unless, of course, the 14th Amendment is a lie.
