“Minor V Happersett(1874) does NOT exclude those born on US soil, to Alien parents, from the Natural Born Citizen definition.”
Again you `re attempt to erase clear distinctions is laughable.
Chief Justice Waite, in Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), stated: “The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common-law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”
Waite was being clear and distinct, telling you exactly who are natural-born citizens; those born in the country of parents who are citizens. The words are plain-spoken and self-evident. There are two classes of persons discussed in the above quotation. Those born in the country of citizen parents were labeled by the Court as “natives or natural-born citizens”, but these were also further identified as being “distinguished from aliens or foreigners.
Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of the parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first.”
The distinction is crucial, clear and obvious except to those with some pride/ego to protect or with a political agenda as the Minor`s court unanimous opinion and definition of natural-born citizen has never been overruled or even questioned.
From a law book or online info? Gotta be careful:
“JUSTIA.COM SURGICALLY REMOVED “MINOR v HAPPERSETT” FROM 25 SUPREME COURT OPINIONS IN RUN UP TO ’08 ELECTION.”
Personally, I want to find out more about Malihi, as well as Bath-House Barry.
Again: Congress also has a right and duty to enact legislation regarding citizenship.
Madison, the Father of the Constitution, made it clear after Ratification, that legislation was needed in order to better define citizenship issues.
Natural Born Citizen has ALWAYS meant Citizen at Birth, and nothing else.
However, Congress has change the rules for birthright citizenship several times.
Congressional Law trumps Common Law.
Congressional Law trumps Natural Law.
Congressional Law trumps The Law of Nations.
Congressional Law trumps Vattel.
There are two classes of American Citizenship, in America:
1.) Natural Born
2.) Naturalized
You can not provide us with a single quote, from anyone in authority, that proves otherwise.
