The court never declared ARK a natural born citizen they couldnt since his parents were Chinese Emperor subjects.
Oh yes, one other thing.
They declared Ark a citizen by virtue of his having been born in the United States. Again, the United States has never recognized any citizenship except that by birth and that by naturalization. Since Ark was declared a citizen by birth, and not by naturalization, ultimately, he could not have been declared anything but a natural born citizen.

Perkins v. Elg defined what is a natural born citizen born is. A person born on US soil and having PARENTS of U.S. citizens.
Wong Kim Ark v. U.S. case did not.
