“WKA was declared a natural born citizen because of his birth in the USA”

This statement is false.

I know the WKA case is a long and involved read for a layman, but you really need to read it in it's entirety before commenting on it.

At 149 US 716 in WKA, SCOTUS states that pursuant to the Constitution, specifically the 14th Amendment, there are only two types and sources of citizenship, by birth (natural born) and naturalization. The court in the last paragraph of the majority opinion holds that WKA became at the time of his birth a citizen. That is a natural born citizen.

Every legal commentator and every judge and at the time of the decision and for the past 113 years up to and including today agree that the language of the WKA opinion made WKA a nbc. Even the dissent in WKA complained that under the majority decision that WKA was eligible to be president. And we know that only nbc’s are eligible to be POTUS. So you are once again mistaken. My statement was completely true and yours was another falsehood from you.

BTW, have you had any success finding a citizenship case in the past 100 years that uses the bogus Vattel theory to define nbc?
