Sorry, but United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898) only confirms that he is considered a citizen, not a natural born citizen. If that were the case a foreign leader could impregnate a woman, send her over here illegally, she gives birth and that foreign leader now has a child that is eligible to become president.

You really do not respect the founders of this nation at all. By the time that amendment was written all of the founders had passed, and just a bunch of ignorant politicians had crafted a poorly worded document. But being a citizen, is not qualification to be president, which the Constitution clearly sets the qualification on several criteria, one of which is the Natural Born Citizen requirement.

Just as there is a distinction by naturalized citizen, and a Natural Born Citizen does not change just because a court rules that a person is a citizen.

It is people like you who have allowed the Constitution to be watered down, and by unconstitutional means.

The problem stems from no one with the courage to define what a Natural Born Citizen was actually meant.

I suggest that the only way to solve this issue is to create a new amendment that states what is meant by Natural Born Citizen, otherwise, it stands as what it was taught for many years in our school systems. That being a NBC is someone who was born of two U.S. citizens at the time of their birth.

They didn’t use the words “Natural Born Citizen” (NBC) but the subject was born on U.S. soil and ruled a citizen, thus effectively, he was ruled an NBC.

The accurate way to apply the Constitution, as stated by Judge Robert Bork, the leading constitutional scholar of his time, is to apply the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended.

In Wong Kim Ark (1898), the Court did what it appears to be a good-faith effort to find the original understanding of natural born citizen (NBC). IMO, it was a valid constitutionally-based decision and stands as the legal mandatory authority making Vivek an NBC from what I can tell.

Remember, this case was decided in 1898. It was sometime early in the 1900’s that the Supreme Court began to habitually abandon the Constitution as written and originally understood and intended the basis for their decisions.

Something happened around 1900. The Left (the spirit of antichrist, really) began to raise its ugly head. Sometime around 1900, the world began in earnest to turn away from God, something that hadn’t happened since Noah’s flood, and the Supreme Court began to abandon the Constitution.
