Wong Kim Ark was NOT born to citizen parents and thus could not be ruled a citizen per the definition of NBC. Justice Gray also recognized that he couldnt necessarily rule Ark to be a citizen by virtue of the 14th amendment unless he could show how Arks parents fulfilled the subject clause, which he did by requiring permanent residence and domicil. Since Obamas father had neither, Obama is not an NBC nor a 14th amendment citizen.
Wong Kim Ark was recognized as an American citizen by right of birth within the United States under English Common Law. The 14th Amendment was irrelevant in his case.

That's utter stupidity. Read the decision and come back when you understand it.
