"Show me where the law differentiates between natural born or native born. Show me where the law identifies three classifications of citizenship.""Your comments, as usual, are inane."
His question is not inane. But as usual, you can't respond without insulting people. Asking you to show where the law says what you say it means is very much to the point.
There is only one class of citizenship. But there are two ways to obtain citizenship. You can be naturalized through the process defined by law, or you can be born as a citizen. If you are born as a citizen you are "natural born". This meaning is totally in keeping with the definitions in the OED that you cited.
Now some of you insist that "natural born citizen" has some super-special secret meaning and being born a citizen isn't enough. Fine. To prove that contention you must show in the law where that definition exists.
A usage example in the OED is not enough to change the meaning of the constitution, although I note that the examples here do not tend to support your view.
Sorry. Say stupid things here and you can expect to be called on them. I feel like I'm being attacked by an army of pea-brains. The law I have been referring to in some of the threads about whether 0bama is Constitutionally eligible is in the Constitution itself. Anyone who needs me to point this out just isn't an honest participant here or he isn't playing with a full deck. There really are no other possibilities. This thread is about what one phrase in that Constitution means or might mean. Kapeesh?
