An affirmative defense to disobeying an order is that the order was illegal. But, as an affirmative defense, the defendent must prove that the order was illegal. He must be given the opportunity to do so.

LTC Lakin should display, for the court, the Naturalization Act of 1790 (which of course was repealed), (non binding) Senate resolution 511, and founder Ramsay's dissertation about citizenship...all referring to NBC as having citizen parents. The first Congress (Act of 1790) knew that an NBC was one who was born in country to citizen parents (plural), they tried to legislatively extend the definition to those born overseas (to citizen parents). Of course, Congress has no authority to legislatively define an NBC, yet...they also knew that it was ALWAYS about both parents being citizens.
