Exactly. They weren’t deciding presidential eligibility in the Ark case, so of course they didn’t say whether he was or not.

What you post is "hooey."

The 1939 SCOTUS decision in Perkins v. Elg did not "decided presidential eligibility," but nevertheless the Supreme Court in their holding said she was a natural born citizen because Ms. Elg was born inside the United States and she had citizen ParentS when she was born.



Elg Affirmed NBC Holding


So, you do see where the Supreme Court said Ms. Elg was a natural born citizen?

And "Affirmed"

Yup... and Ms Elg had dual citizenship issues and immigrant parents to boot!
Red Steel, go ahead and use this to debunk all those who keep claiming “natural-born” is about having zero foreign ties, when in fact Ms Elg had them in spades and was STILL called a natural-born citizen. Well done.

In the meantime, ponder the logical fallacy of confusing a declared category to be an exclusive limitation. Just because ms Elg *IS* a natural-born citizen, and was stated as such, doesnt mean every case where they didn’t make that same point was *not* also NBC, including Wong Kim Ark.
