“I guess 5th graders dont get to read SCOTUS Wong Kim Ark ruling” ------ They just haven’t learned to ‘read between the lines’ like you have. It doesn’t say what you say it does. but you think it does, and that’s good enought for you.

At some point, you have to realize that arguing against a Supreme Court precedent that has stood for over 100 years is tilting at windmills. You cannot get to your view of what a natural-born citizen is without *both* ignoring English common law *and* overruling Wong Kim Ark. It wont ever happen, no matter what my opinion or your opinion is on it.

IF it came before SCOTUS, you would get a 9 to 0 ruling that: Natural-born citizen and 'citizenship acquired at birth' are the same. And any child of legal foreign residents is a US citizen at birth, and ergo a natural-born citizen. 9 to 0, slam dunk.

5th graders also havent grasped the limits of reality just yet.

Ain’t gonna happen. All NBC’s are citizens at birth. All citizens at birth are not NBC’s and the Wong Kim ruling says no sucha thing.
