By the way, Wilson and Cook weren't the only Representatives who contradicted your BS.

After the President's veto of the Civil Right Act (which would shortly be overridden), Representative William Lawrence, Republican from Ohio, stood up on the House floor, confirmed Wilson's take on what the rule of citizenship was, and added:

In the great case of Lynch v Clarke, it was conclusively shown that in the absence of all constitutional provision or congressional law "declaring citizenship by birth, it must be regulated by some rule of national law" "coeval [of the same age, date, or duration; equally old] with the existence of the Union," which was and is that all "children born here are citizens without any regard to the political condition or allegiance of their parents." (1 Sandford's Ch. R., 583).

In other words, he once again affirmed that children born on US soil were born citizens, whether their parents were citizens or not.

So not even the Congressmen of the post-civil-war debates support you. In fact, they contradict you multiple times.

There's virtually nothing historically or legally in support of your bogus claim, and tons of evidence and authority against it.

By the way, we can go on playing this stupid birther game for the next 5 or 10 years, if you like. I and others here can debunk every single piece of BS you've spewed. And every time you make another one of your moronic birther posts or arguments, readers who look at both sides of the issue get to see once again what a Constitution-twister and fraud you are.

You are still trying to lie. This is what Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee James F. Wilson of Iowa had to say on the matter.

Rep. James F. Wilson

“We must depend on the general law relating to subjects and citizens recognized by all nations* for a definition, and that must lead us to the conclusion that every person born in the United States is a natural-born citizen of such States, except that of children born on our soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of foreign Governments.”*

Don't look now Jeff, but James F. Wilson just B*tchslapped you! Stop lying Jeff. Just STOP IT!

.

* The vast majority of Nations only recognize Jus Sanguinus citizenship.
