The definition and two-parent requirement has been reiterated by the Supreme Court and other courts in the cases of The Venus, 12U.S. 253(1814), Shanks v. Dupont, 28 U.S. 242 (1830), Scott v. Sandford, 60 U.S. 393 (1856), Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875) , Ex parte Reynolds, 20 F. Cas. 582 (C.C.W.D. Ark 1879), United States v. Ward, 42 F. 320 (1890); Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), and Ludlam, Excutrix, & c., v. Ludlam, 26 N.Y. 356 (1863). It has also been confirmed by renowned legislators, including Senator Trumbull, the author of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and Representative John A. Bingham, the architect of the 14th Amendment to our Constitution.
Wanna bet that he won’t read it or agree with any of it...lol
I see you didn’t really address my point. You just cited a bunch of 19th century cases, half of which came before the 14th amendment so they are completely irrelevant. Throw out 1814, 1830, 1856, and 1863. The 14th wasn’t passed until 1868 and if any of those pre-1868 cases had some two-parent requirement for U.S. citizenship, the 14th trumps them all.
I will read that stuff later today, even your 19th century cites, but I wonder if you couldn’t perhaps link to a more reputable and unbiased site than to Apuzzo’s. Isn’t he one of the federal plaintiffs challenging Obama’s eligibility? Hardly unbiased. I realize that unbiased commentary on this issue may be difficult to find but come on now.
