You can argue anything you want, but it’s still not listed in the Constitution as part of the supreme law of the land.

And it’s not fair for us to assume that Congresses over the years haven’t studied the subject using all the information that’s available.

They have been remarkably similar in where they came down: children born overseas to US citizens are themselves citizens at birth.

Some groups are upset because Congress disagrees with their own personal opinion. They’re allowed to be upset, I suppose, but the Constitution still gives the authority to decide these things to Congress and not to disgruntled groups.

The Constitution is subservient to the document which created it. The Constitution derives *IT'S* authority from the Declaration of Independence.

But you are right. I can argue anything I want, and it won't make the slightest difference to you. I have argued with you in the past, and you are simply unreachable with any form of fact or reason.

But don't despair, subjectivity is the norm nowadays. You have plenty of company. You are in the main herd.
