“Most” strengthens your point! :-).
The “Father of the Constitution” said that where a person is born is the MOST certain criterion of allegiance.
The Supreme Court said 100 years later in US v. Wong Kim Ark that [An alien parent’s] “allegiance to the United States is direct and immediate, and, although but local and temporary, continuing only so long as he remains within our territory, is yet, in the words of Lord Coke in Calvin’s Case, ’strong enough to make a natural subject, for, if he hath issue here, that issue is a natural-born subject...’”

You still aren't appreciating the difference between forced subjugation and citizenship. The former is based on Monarchy, the latter is based on natural law. If I recall correctly, you are one of those people that often cite the opinions of some "authority". (argumentum ad verecundiam.)

Well here you go. Note what this Heritage Foundation posting has to say about this. Note also the date precedes Obama's election by two years.

And if you want this opinion bolstered by other highly thought of conservative Scholar, here you go again.

And one more time.
