The worst thing in court or law is some fool thinking that non-governing citations make law. 8 USC 1401 is the governing law. Period.

8 USC 1401 is the governing law. Period.

Except that there is NOTHING defining "Natural Born Citizen" in 8 USC 1401, nothing at all. It defines several ways to be a citizen at birth, and even though the statute, back in the definition section, 8 USC 1101, says those made citizens at birth are not naturalized, the Supreme Court says differently, and not in dicta either, right in the meat of several cases.

Statute law cannot over-ride the Constitution, although in one case it was more a mater of the statute conforming to the Constitution, even though one of the parties to the case was arguing that it, the statute, did not. But the reason it conformed was tied up with those made citizens at birth, solely by statute, being "naturalized at birth" for Constitutional pourposes.

So can "Period" all you want, but that doesn't mean your opinion conforms with the case law.
