Then I ask you why did they 1898 Supreme Court state that Wong was a 'native born citizen' and not use the term 'natural born citizen' as it is written in the U.S. Constitution.

The question before the court in that case was whether Wong was a citizen of the US or not. The case had nothing to do with whether or not he qualified to serve as President.

You cannot rely on that case for any questions dealing with the definition of natural-born citizen, as that is not an issue dealt with by the court.

I agree with you LoL!

Again, I agree with you.
