One of my pet peeves are the people who ignorantly attempt to equate natural born subjects with natural born citizens. That’s sheer dumb and stupid craziness.

And nearly universal in how our legal community views the subject.

Did you happen to see my theory of how the citizenship issue got so conflated with English Common law?

Probably, but I don’t recall now. I’ve seen so many of these various arguments. There certainly has been no shortage of so-called lawyers ignorantly arguing for English common law origins ever since the early 19th Century. Justice Grey in particular was responsible for screwing that one up as well.
