“The quotes you provided are trumped by Minor v. Happersett which recognized that the longstanding and exclusive definition of NBC = all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. The definition was upheld and affirmed by Gray in the WKA decision. “

Believe that drivel if you will. You and the WND freaks have at it. But there is not a court, a state DA or anyone with legal responsibility who agrees with you. None. Zero. Zilch.

Minor agreed that someone born in the USA of citizen parents was a NBC. It did NOT attempt to limit the definition to that. It is like reading that a poodle is a dog, and deciding all dogs must be poodles.

Sorry, but the definition is self-limiting. "These were the natives, or natural-born citizens, as DISTINGUISHED from aliens or foreigners."
