"Lynch was found to be a natural born citizen." [1]

I've given you proof that the court found Lynch to be a "citizen", yet you keep on keeping on saying she was found a natural born Citizen. Nowhere in the state court decision, did they find her to be a natural born Citizen.

"It was held that she was a citizen of the United States."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The court wrote:

(page 246)
And the constitution itself contains a direct recognition of the subsisting common law principle, in the section which defines the qualification of the President. “No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President,” &c. The only standard which then existed, of a natural born citizen, was the rule of the common law, and no different standard has been adopted since. Suppose a person should be elected President who was native born, but of alien parents, could there be any reasonable doubt that he was eligible under the constitution? I think not.

(pg 250)
6. Upon principle, therefore, I can entertain no doubt, but that by the law of the United States, every person born within the dominions and allegiance of the United States, whatever were the situation of his parents, is a natural born citizen.

Not the editor, but the court.
