You are welcome. The site also misrepresents what Wong Kim Ark said about NBC, and for reasons that puzzle me, it (Wong Kim Ark Court) and most other citizenship opinions do not cite Article IV, Sec. 2 for a determination of who was a citizen under the constitution. Focus is put on the 14th amendment, which has two baskets, one being "born in" and the other being "naturalized in" the US.

I was reading cases on the subject of citizenship in general, and to make the point that courts are fallible, there is a line of cases decided on a fictitious (does not exist) clause in the Mexican constitution relating to marriage. That has no bearing on Cruz or Obama, but hundreds of cases were decided wrongly because the courts accepted a highly relevant legal authority as existing, that did not in fact exist! The outcome of the cases hinged on this error.

Are federal judges trying to cite foreign law now? Elena

Kagan — was she the one who said we should do more of that?
