As you know, in Rogers v. Bellei, SCOTUS said that the citizenship granted at birth to those born abroad to U.S. citizens was the result of a congressional generosity to which such persons have no constitutional right and that it would have been within Congress's power to force such persons to undergo the more arduous naturalization process.

Therein lies the unanswered question for many birthers. If such citizens have no constitutional right to their citizenship, how is their statutory citizenship at birth equivalent to those for whom no statute is necessary, such as 14th Amendment citizens?

Is it your position that we should resolve any such doubts in favor of those citizens? Are you saying that a constitutional right to citizenship was not intended by the FF?
