That job is left to federal law, in 8 U.S. Code, Section 1401.
I used to respect the man. If he's too stupid to understand that 8 U.S. Code is titled "Aliens and Nationality" then there is no helping him.
You have to be an Alien first for anything therein to apply.

8 U.S. Code is titled "Aliens and Nationality...

??? That section is titled Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

[Perdogg]

here is the law

8 USC § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

You have to be an Alien first for anything therein to apply.

You're right that the entire thing is titled "Aliens and Nationality." But the section at hand talks about who's a citizen at birth. Regardless of whether you think being a citizen at birth makes you a natural born citizen or not, clearly someone who's a citizen at birth was never an alien. So no, you don't have to be an alien first for the section to apply.

Somewhere, there is a discussion of ‘year 0’ of the hijri calendar. I don’t remember what the corresponding year of the Gregorian calendar was, but it is connected to this, and it is hard to find........
