It would be a lot more prudent to examine the decision and Won Kim Ark, since that Court actually dealt with the question of what a natural born citizen was.

They did *NOT* declare Wong Kim Ark to be a "natural born citizen." They declared him to be a "citizen."

It is only people who want the two to be equated that continue to make the mistake of thinking that the Wong Kim Ark decision had anything to do with the requirements for the presidency.

There are only two options: either Wong Kim Ark was a naturalized citizen, or he was a natural-born citizen (i.e. a citizen of America by birth).

Are you arguing that Wong Kim Ark was a naturalized citizen? (I'm sure you're not, because the surrounding facts of the case precluded Wong Kim Ark from naturalization altogether.)

The Court's ruling that Wong Kim Ark was a citizen due to the circumstances of his birth means that the Court ruled Wong Kim Ark was a natural-born citizen. They were quite explicit about it: "Upon the facts agreed in this case, the American citizenship which Wong Kim Ark acquired by birth within the United States has not been lost or taken away by anything happening since his birth..."

No, it is only people like you, who are mentally ill, who continue to disregard WKA, since it says that you are wrong. Only mentally ill people, like trannies and flat-earthers, get silly ideas into their head, and then defy common-sense answers that prove them wrong.

I wish that you were capable of stepping back from yourself, and seeing what a ninny you are. But - mental illness prevents that.
