“.........the laws of the country are clear as they stand now, and as they have stood since the “14th Amendment” was enacted.

There is NO ‘third class’ of LEGAL citizenship presently. There are only TWO!”

Perhaps if we take this one baby step at a time we might get somewhere.

Baby Step 1: Does your wording above indicate that, based upon your vast knowledge of the Constitution and the law, you believe that up until the “14th Amendment” there WERE three “classes” of citizenship with “natural born citizen” being one of them?

Please let me know if you think I am getting, as you put it, “emotional” by disagreeing with you.

I am not aware of any evidence (regulatory or judicial) that there has ever been three classes of U.S. citizenship, with "natural born" being a distinct class of citizenship. What the courts have done over the years is rule on whether or how an individual fell into either one of the two classes of citizenship.
