[[ I pointed out the cases In the other thread which found that children born abroad to a US citizen were automatically an NBC with no need for an act of naturalization statute/act]]

You counterargument, I believe, was that anything that requires an ‘act’ or requires defining by congress makes it an act, and therefore invalidates NBC- You may be right- but I do believe the SC is finding that NBC is passed by descent in at birth and by birth, and ‘after birth’ needs an act of naturalization regarding citizenship because NBC citizenship hasn’t been automatically passed down via descent as in at birth and by birth

I'm using the case law as the authority, because it is the authority. I can correlate what the case law says with what CRS, State Department manuals (FAM) and other secondary materials say, and see if they are accurate, misleading, or false. Not hat any of what the secondary things say - they have ZERO, NADA, NO weight in court. Same with the popular scholars such as Katyal, Clement, Amar, Levin, Balkin, and so on. They aren't the cases.

You have done worn out your welcome.
