I think you made a typo, deliberate or not. Please post a correction if you made a typo.

Atty Mario Apuzzo would more like and frequently have said that about the 1829 published Rawle’s view on the citizenship status children of aliens born in the USA and not said anything like that about the page 26 (image copy posted before in this forum by DiogenesLamp) writings and compilation work of PA Supreme Court Report to the PA legislature compiled by Roberts in 1817. And if it was said exactly as you said it was said, it surely was taken out of some context you have not fully provided, i.e., in some other Roberts personal writings or statement somewhere else, not related to the words and footnotes on page 26 in the report of the Judges of the Supreme Court of PA.

Don’t ascribe words here (out of any context and without links) to a now deceased attorney who is not now able to come here and defend himself and who practiced citizenship law and helped many immigrants become new citizens and who wrote numerous writings on “natural born Citizen” as being one born in the country of parents who were both citizens of that country, with out the context it was stated in and a link to back it up.

It is far more likely that Attorney Apuzzo said William Rawle cites no legal precedents, no court cases or laws, if Atty Apuzzo was speaking about the “natural born citizen” assertion made by Rawle in 1829.

So 4Zoltan, show us the link where Attorney Mario Apuzzo said exactly what you say he said about Roberts in context and regards to what is stated on page 26 that the children of aliens born within the U.S. are aliens in the 1817 “A Digest of Select British Statutes Comprising Those Which According to the Report of the Judges of the Supreme Court Made to the Legislature, Appear to Be in Force, in Pennsylvania ..” Show me/us a link to where Mario said exactly the phrase you say is said about Roberts in regards to the inheritance of citizenship.
