Your math is lacking.
X = Born on the Soil. (Jus Soli)
Y = Born to citizen Parents. (Jus Sanguinus)
Z = Article II “Natural born citizen” status.

X = natural born; Early American legal scholars tell us so, Several Attorneys general tell us so, Rogers v. Bellei affirms that in this, the Constitution follows English common law.
Y = By statute, this was made equivalent to natural born.

This is what you call a response? Seriously, I expected something better. As for what Attorneys say, I don't give a D@mn. As for what Early American legal scholars say, you've only got one on your side of which I know; Rawles. I think you also try to claim St. George Tucker, but I think my side quotes him a lot too. Just to counteract those 1-1/2, we've got Dr. David Ramsey and Chief Supreme court justice Marshall for Rebuttal. Roger v Bellei tells us that someone born as an American citizen can lose their citizenship unless they are a natural born citizen which cannot. It demonstrates that one can be a "born" citizen without being an article II "natural born citizen."
