Our basic citizenship law was not a statutory law. It was a COMMON LAW DEFINTION, AND A COMMON LAW RULE.
Cite the statutory law, passed in the early days of our Republic, under which YOU qualify for birthright citizenship. You can't, because it doesn't exist.
Like I say, you're acting like a poster child for birther nutjobbery.
You demand that I cite a statutory law under which Obama qualifies for citizenship, when you can't cite one under which YOU qualify for citizenship.
I cite the actual law, and you simply deny that it exists, when I've spelled it out quite clearly.
You demand I cite a statutory law under which Obama qualifies for citizenship, insisting he doesn't, when you can't cite a statutory law that says he doesn't.
Ah, but every requirement applies to ME. NO requirement at all applies to YOU.
Those are the clear indications of a DENIALIST NUTJOB.
So thank you for announcing to the world that you're a denialist nutjob. Because that's all you've accomplished here.
“Cite the statutory law, passed in the early days of our Republic, under which YOU qualify for birthright citizenship. You can’t, because it doesn’t exist.”
It was never doubted that the children of citizens born in the country were natural born citizens. They are so without need of any statute.
False.
Until 1866, birthright U.S. citizenship of eligible persons born in the United States was governed by the states ("Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed." Naturalization Act 1790, 1795).
New York State's citizenship law, as we've seen, denied birthright citizenship to the children of transient aliens, among others. New York State law defined transient aliens as those not domiciled in the state. The state defined domicile as: "the place where one remains, when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose." Read the link I posted to the New York state law. It's very informative.
Clearly, "common law" most certainly did not apply to U.S. citizenship, as you mistakenly believe.
The Common law requires perpetual allegiance to the King. Our very existence is a renunciation of English common law. If we had adhered to it, we would not be an independent nation.
But of course, you will argue that we rejected THAT part, but we KEPT the other part. Sure we did.
