You're acting like I'm trying to hide that point. I said, back in post #92, that, "technically, Wong Kim Ark didn't rule on whether Ark was a natural born citizen, only on whether he was a citizen; everything else in the opinion is dicta."
There is, I believe, no single case in any American court (until this week's Indiana case) that ever directly litigated whether someone was a Natural Born Citizen for purposes of being eligible to the presidency. But the fact remains that Wong Kim Ark has a long discussion of this issue, and states (in dicta, of course) that anyone born on U.S. soil is a a natural born citizen, even if both their parents are aliens.
For the Indiana court to accept the dicta over the actual holding was very bold of them. Their “holding”, IMO, will be challenged in the future.
