There are at least three types of citizens. But that’s a nice try, phantom.

Whatever you say, Mr. Blackstone.

BTW, next time you try to argue original intent of a clause in the original Constitution, try quoting people who were actually alive at the time. While Johnb Bingham is one of the foremost authorities regarding the original intent of the Privileges or Immunities Clause of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (the one that the Supreme Court reduced to nothing in the Slaughterhouse Cases), given that he was pretty much the Father of the 14th Amendment, he had no special knowledge regarding the Natural-Born Citizen Clause, unless he jumped into Doc Brown’s DeLorean and filled in for Gouverneur Morris or somebody at the Constitutional Convention. Before coming up with a definition of “natural-born citizen” that contradicts what has been the near-unanimous opinion of scholars over the past 200 years, you’ll have to do better than that.
