You asserted:There is no SCOTUS decision equating natural born citizenship with citizenship at birth, and absent that youâre just making stuff up.
It is good form to actually read the reply to which you are addressing your remarks.
well, HUMPH :-)
I read your quote. What Congress may or may not (the act was repealed five years later and replaced with another one that correctly deleted all references to natural born citizens) have said about the topic doesn’t mean very much, especially when there are encyclopedias of contemporaneous writings that far more clearly define what was meant by the term at the time. The point however is that it’s all speculation until the SCOTUS rules on it.
