More to the point,... Wong Kim Ark could never have been a natural born citizen since his parents were subjects to the Emperor of China who never became U.S citizens.

The court declared that he was a citizen, even though he had never been naturalized. So he couldn't have been deemed by the court to have been anything but a natural born citizen as this country has never recognized any but two types of citizenship. Citizenship by birth, which is natural born citizenship, and citizenship by naturalization.

There is, nor has there ever been, a third teir of citizenship in the United States.

The court never declared ARK a natural born citizen they couldn’t since his parents were Chinese Emperor subjects.

Wong Kim Ark was a narrow ruling they ONLY went so far is to call him citizen. And in noway does the court ruling settle the natural born citizen issue as it pertains to being president.
