The over-parsing is a familiar error, though. If I remember correctly, he's among those who argue that in the passage
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. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents.the word "citizens" in the last sentence refers to a different group than "citizens also" does in the first sentence. It strikes me as the same kind of error: slicing apart ideas that clearly belong together.
I would recommend a remedial course in English. You might focus on independent clauses versus dependent clauses.
