To: Cincinatus' Wife

Attempting to prove that someone is a natural born citizen by referencing naturalization statutes just evidences the degree of your ignorance on the issue. The only entity capable of providing details about who is or is not an natural born citizen is the Supreme Court, and only to the extent that the specifically reference that constitutional provision. SCOTUS decisions relating to naturalization are irrelevant.

The SCOTUS has in fact dealt with natural born citizenship in Minor v. Happersett (1874), and in that case they defined it as born in the U.S. to citizens.

So trump isn’t eligible because only one parent was a citizen?
