Please provide a link to SCOTUS rulings on NBC. I remember reading that SCOTUS has yet to take up the NBC issue. When last raised during obama’s caper, no one had “standing” to question his pedigree....

Exactly. If Obama or anyone had no standing, the issue would have proceeded to the Supreme Court.

Here’s your link to a SCOTUS ruling on NBC...

Under the 14th Amendment’s Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

Wrong! The Wong Kim Ark (1898) decision did NOT say he was a “natural born Citizen”. It only decided he was a Citizen. Saying otherwise is disinformation or a case of someone not bothering to reading the holding and decision of the case. See Section 4 at this site for more details on several SCOTUS case regarding “natural born Citizen” as compared to basic “Citizen” of the United States: http://www.art2superpac.com/issues.html

Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction[,] is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.

When you parse the above with English grammar, notice the dependency clause "and subject to its jurisdiction", making a compound sentence where both clauses have to be true in order for either clause to be true. If the kid has foreign parent(s), they are subject to their country of origin that issued their passport.

I already pointed out to you that the Cornell reference was over citizenship of contract foreign workers in recent thread.

My recollection of Wong Kim Ark is they specifically do not say *NATURAL* born citizen.

They just say "citizen."
