Natural Born Citizen’s meaning at the time the Constitution was written under the common law was that a person born within the Realm and jurisdiction of the Sovereign was a Natural Born Citizen. It has also been adjudicated on more than one occasion that anyone born on U.S. Soil to parents legally within the U.S. is a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.
“Natural Born Citizen’s meaning at the time the Constitution was written under the common law was that a person born within the Realm and jurisdiction of the Sovereign was a Natural Born Citizen.”
No, the opposite is true. Such a person was not a natural born citizen as stated by the Naturalization Acts and the U.S. Supreme Court.

U.S. Department of State Foreign Affairs Manual Volume 7
Consular Affairs. 7 FAM 1151 INTRODUCTION... b. 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(23); INA 101(a)(23)) defines naturalization as the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth by any means whatsoever. . . For the purposes of this subchapter naturalization includes:... (5) “Automatic†Â acquisition of U.S. citizenship after birth, a form of naturalization by certain children born abroad to U.S. citizen parents or children adopted abroad by U.S. citizen parents.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. said “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized....”
“It has also been adjudicated on more than one occasion that anyone born on U.S. Soil to parents legally within the U.S. is a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.”
No, that is a blatant lie that is exactly the opposite of the truth. Read again:
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. said “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized....”
As I have said multiple times, this simple misconstruction of natural born is new, and none of it makes sense when compared against the REASON for having a natural born restriction in the Constitution.
