And the dissent in WKA recognized the implication that it made WKA a natural born citizen, eligible to be President.

It did no such thing! The case acknowledged that WKA was a citizen but “not” a natural Born Citizen.

By the way what the “H” is NBS........New Bull Chit?

Ummm....yes it did.

“Considering the circumstances surrounding the framing of the Constitution, I submit that it is unreasonable to conclude that “natural-born citizen” applied to everybody born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances, and that the children of foreigners, happening to be born to them while passing through the country, whether of royal parentage or not, or whether of the Mongolian, Malay or other race, were eligible to the Presidency, while children of our citizens, born abroad, were not.”

It understood the implications of the argument used by the majority, which I now realize IS binding.
