It also cites Elk, which says you are either a citizen born or a citizen made.

The court could have written “a naturalized citizen stands on an equal footing with the natural born citizen in all respects save that of eligibility to the Presidency” - but they didn’t. They were either careless and wrote a false statement, or they wrote what they believed true.

There is no legal basis for claiming there are THREE categories of citizens - naturalized, native born of alien parents, and native born of citizen parents.

AND Elk excludes children from being under the operation of the 14th amendment, so it destroys the Fogger and Faither claim that all children born in the country are natural-born citizens under the 14th amendment. You idiot, you showed a direct citation of Minor as THE legal precedent for defining presidential eligibility: all children born in the country to parents who were its citizens.

There is no legal basis for claiming there are THREE categories of citizens - naturalized, native born of alien parents, and native born of citizen parents.

Absolutely false. Minor recognized two separate classes of citizens at birth and Wong Kim Ark acknowledged a separate type of citizenship at birth through the 14th amendment that only applies to children of resident aliens. This has been SHOWN to you conclusively several times. You've just destroyed your own arguments with the Luria quote. Congratulations, fool.
