See my post #226: Post 226. I cite the entire law including that passage that defines a natural born citizen. The trolls didn't read it. Lazy trolls. I give it to them on a FR platter and they still cannot read it.

No, darlin’. The “trolls” have read it over and over since about 2008. If you had participated in those threads, you would know that. That law and that passage have been discussed and debated for five years on the eligibility threads. It’s not new evidence.

Maybe I misunderstood your point, but what you don’t seem to get is that the passage you cited does not actually “define” the term “natural born citizen.” That passage merely declared how the term shall be applied to the particular cases of those born abroad to citizen parents.

I was born on U.S. soil to citizen parents - so I am a natural born citizen. Yet that passage doesn’t apply to me. So the passage is clearly not a definition. It is merely a usage of the term.

(i.e. That passage is a pointer to data but is not itself the data being pointed to.)
