Not so (see United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
The founders themselves made a distinction between a mere citizen and a natural born citizen in the same sentence of the Constitution IE "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Wong Kim Ark only deals with citizenship. Mr. Ark is NOT a "Natural Born" Citizen, neither is BHO, and NO court has ever said they are!
“Not so (see United States v. Wong Kim Ark.”
You are confusing the notion of citizenship with the natural born citizen requirement. I don’t know if you are deliberately doing this, or are ignorant. The case you cited above has absolutely nothing to do with it.
The SCOTUS case which deals with this is Minor v. Happersette, 1874.
So. Wong Kim Ark upheld and affirmed the Minor definition of natural-born citizen: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens. This is why Obama chickened out yesterday and didn't show up. He CAN'T beat that argument.
And this is why people think you are a LIAR. You claim to consider the whole issue "flapdoodle", yet when you are told something, you fire back with opposition crib notes.
This is not the act of someone who considers the issue "flapdoodle" this is the act of someone intentionally trying to run interference for this scam.
Wong Kim Ark was ruled a "citizen" not a "natural born citizen", and that is all the time I'm going to waste attempting to educate you.
The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle.
Minor v. Happersett (1874), 21 Wall. 162, 166-168. The decision in that case was that a woman born of citizen parents within the United States was a citizen of the United States, although not entitled to vote, the right to the elective franchise not being essential to citizenship.
Not so (see United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
-------------------------------------
WKA was found by the court to be a "citizen," in part, because his parentS were perminantely domociled here.
Barry's father was a foreigner here on a temporary student visa.
Barry was born a British subject, owing allegience to the crown of her majesty the Queen of England. Assuming Sr. was his legal father at birth.
Minor, on the other hand, was found to be a citizen because she was a natural born Citizen....born in country, to 2 citizen parents.
