BTW, are you willing to stand behind every statement made by the birthers on this thread? Many of those in your camp did not even think Congress had EVER passed any laws concerning Citizenship, and many of your birther nuts also claimed that Congress had “no power” to enact any laws concerning citizenship of any kind other than Naturalization processes. Your birther buddies obviously were wrong and I proved that point.
However, one thing you Birthers share with the LIBERALS? You all circle the wagons and you rarely call out one of your own, do you?
How about a little intellectual honesty. BTW, notice how most conservatives IGNORE YOU? The reason is that most conservatives think you are nuts!
I challenge to submit the text of the post to which I’m replying to a any professor of law an any accredited University for his analysis and criticism. Publicly.
“The right of citizenship never descends in the legal sense, either by the common law or under the common naturalization acts. It is incident to birth in the country, or it is given personally by statute. 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.”
To say that the "child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen" can have no other interpretation than the fact that, although both children are equally citizens, only the child of the citizen is a "natural born" one. Mr Wong was a citizen, but was not the child a of citizen. Therefore, he was not a natural born citizen. Per the majority opinion of Justice Gray, only those born in the US who were "the child of a citizen" are natural born.
You still haven't pointed out where in the Constitution Congress is delegated this power. Remember.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
