Yes. Millions of excluded citizens in the form of Slaves, Indians, and the Children of British Loyalists are insufficient for you to grasp the point.

Indians not taxed is specifically mentioned in the Constitution, slaves were not specifically ruled non-citizens until Dred Scott, and the children of British Loyalists who were citizens at the time the Constitution was adopted were, in fact, natural-born citizens. Try again.

The word "Dense" comes to mind.

I would have described you as "pig-headed" but "dense" will do.

I could tell you what Chief Justice John Marshall said on the subject, but i'm pretty sure that wouldn't make a dent in your head either.

I could tell you what Justice Bushrod Washington said, I could tell you what Benjamin Franklin said, I could tell you what James Wilson said, I could tell you what James Monroe said, I could show you what James Madison did, and on and on and on and on, and I doubt any of it would make a dent in your preferred belief.

But what you can't do is point to where they accepted your definition of natural-born citizen alone.

You are really just a jumble of gobbledygook that argues like a child.

But what you can't do is point to where they accepted your definition of natural-born citizen alone.

Oh, but yes I can. That is the point. Were you not ignorant on this subject, you would have known that I very well can point to where they accepted the correct definition which I only learned about a couple of hundred years later, and so therefore is not *MY* definition as you so ignorantly imply.

You keep wanting to make this about me instead of what is the objective truth, and you do this because the objective truth is not on your side.

But like the little child that you are, you can't simply admit you are wrong, or that you don't understand things, you must throw your little temper tantrum and stomp your little feet and shout "no it isn't!!!!!!!!"

Doodle Dawg's reaction depicted below.

No, it is not "My" definition. It is the axiomatic, objective, self evident position of the Natural Law philosophers which inspired the founders to create this nation.

But you seem to think a nation is better governed by whatever naturalization feather congress has up it's @$$ during any given year.

That the Constitutional definition means whatever they say it means when they feel like changing it.

Like I said, you have the understanding of a child.
