Answer my original post first, then I'll play your game:

“The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.” Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162, 168.

That is a SCOTUS decision btw.....

Which question(s) in which post?

Yes, 1874.

These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

You don't think he's an alien or foreigner, you just said he was a citizen.
