Anyone that is not a natural born Citizen(born to U.S. citizen parents on U.S. soil) is a naturalized citizen under positive law. There is no positive law that makes Ark a citizen. SCROTUS got it dead wrong.
Widjet Jr -
You CLEARLY haven’t read the text of the Ark decision.
Although Justice Gray’s dicta [rationale for his opinion] indicates that he believes that Ark was natural born, the dicta DOES NOT COUNT as the decision.
As in ALL SCOTUS decisions,the words in the declaratory statement at the end of the text ARE the decision. NOTHING ELSE.
I NEVER TOLD YOU ARK WAS NATURALIZED, I TOLD YOU THAT HE WAS DECLARED A CITIZEN UNDER THE TEXT OF THE 14TH AMENDMENT, AS PER THE WRITTEN DECISION. ARK WAS NOT DECLARED TO BE NATURAL BORN !!!
