You are guilty of the offense of Leo D. You are trying to interject what they should have said if they wanted to say.
Read the Court of Appeals case of Ankey. It actually addresses this.
I might remind you that THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA stated that the RULING of Wong Kim Ark was that Ark was a natural born citizen in their brief.
HOWEVER, all you really have to do is understand ONE CONCEPT.
It is pretty simple.
The Majority Opinion in Wong Kim Ark stated that the 14th amendment was declaratory. So did the Dissent. The Dissent didn’t agree with the ruling but set forth that this is what the majority ruled.
So, do you understand what it means to say that the 14th Amendment is declaratory?????
Look at how many paragraphs talk about natural born citizen as it related to Common Law.
If Common Law indicated that Ark is a natural born citizen and the 14th Amendment is Declaratory - what does that mean for Ark?
If YOU don’t understand what it means - read Justice Fuller’s dissent. He understand what it meant in terms of someone running for President. He disagreed with the notion and put it in his dissent.
You would be better served, as would this site, and your cause to actually understand what they meant and try to put forth a defense AGAINST Wong Kim Ark.
I will repeat what I have said repeatedly, those of you that support Vattel should understand that Wong REJECTED it.
Here is a simple question...Did the court declare Ark a natural born citizen?
The trouble with the law and lawyers is a total lack of conmmon sense. The founders wanted to prevent the possibilty of someone with divided loyalty becoming the President. The best way to do that is prevent anyone who has a parent who may be loyal to another country. Why is that so hard to understand?
Chick the only thing that needs to be understood, lawyers make millions obfuscating common sense. This 900+ posts on this thread provokes the point.
The president is either a fraud or he is not, the whole issue could be resolved for $12.00 or so. Why are millions changing hands? Lawyers.
