Here's what Larry Klayman cites to support his assertion:

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that it was "never doubted" that natural born citizens are those born in the U.S. of U.S. citizen parents. Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 167 (1875).

This is a red flag. Everyone one who cites Minor v. Happersett does not know what they are talking about. Everything thereafter in his article is nonsense and can be ridiculed at will.

You see, Minor v. Happersett was a case that had nothing to do with citizenship, natural born or otherwise. It was a case about sufferage. Minor was a female U.S. Citizen who wanted to vote. Her state said no, pointed out that State Law gave the vote to only males.

Not only did the case have nothing to do with citizenship, the Supreme Court said that it was perfectly constitutional for her state to deny her the vote. So, when you see anyone throw Minor v. Happersett on the table, you can be sure that you are dealing with one of the clueless.

Minor v Happersett is a relevant case. See the discussion about that case and other fallacies put up by disinformation specialists and trolls in the discussion here to get further information and education as to why Minor v Happersett is very much on point in regards to “natural born Citizen” debates: http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2019/06/the-fallacies-of-congressional.html
