The Supreme Court has ALREADY affirmed the definition in at least four cases.

Only in the imaginations of birthers who must draw colorful, convoluted readings of these decisions from which to base their arguments.

To the rest of us, Kim Wong Ark is pretty clear.

I find it interesting that you are so closed minded that you didn't even inquire what the four cases are.

From Kim Wong Ark:

"At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

Yup! That is pretty clear.

“I’m married to a foreign citizen and father to our son.”

Now I understand why you are a proponent of anybody can be president.

You have a child who is an American citizen, and who is ineligible to ever be POTUS. It’s personal.

Kim Wong Arc decided that a person born in the US of Legal Non citizen Residents was a citizen, with the same rights as if he were a Natural born citizen...... note that they did not say say he was a Natural Born Citizen....for he is not, and although he retains the same rights as an NBC, he does not meet the Constitutional requirements for the Presidency...... Drew you need new reading glasses....

Why are you so interested in seeing Non- Natural Born Citizens become eligible for the Presidency? Are you one of them Globalists/Internationalists?

Optical Rectitus is treatable.....see your proctologist.

Obviously it's not. Bias blinds logic and reason from his followers ...




From US v. Wong Kim Ark:

"The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties were to present for determination the single question stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United States, of parent of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.

Order affirmed.


So, kindly get this into your thick Obot skull:

Citizen ≠ Natural Born Citizen

If it did, the US v. Wong Kim Ark opinion would have said it.

Words mean things.
