If, to you, “citizen at birth” doesn’t mean “natural born citizen,” we are on two different planets, I think. We know that NBC is nowhere “defined,” so we have to think a little. One day it will click for you, but only if you get out of your echo chamber. You thumb your nose at U.S. law, so I guess there’s just no hope for you. You are like a schizophrenic and his visions of things that aren’t there. If you ever return to reality, you’ll understand that 1401 tells you who is a natural born citizen. If you knew how to determine what a reputable source of information about legal issues is, you’d have moved on to other things by now. I hope you come to your senses someday.

It's already clicked. Have you even looked at the article that this thread is about? So who should we believe? David Ramsey the American Revolutionary War historian who twice served in the Continental Congress, and who wrote "The History of The American Revolution," or Tech Editor, who wrongly extrapolates that "Citizen" in US code 1401 equates to natural born citizen as the same meaning in Article 2, Section 1, Article 5 of the US Constitution. US code 1401 does not or could it define, or does it even attempt to interpret the natural born citizen clause in the Constitution.

You are like a schizophrenic and his visions of things that aren’t there.

It's you who is seeing things that are not there.

so I guess there’s just no hope for you.

There is plenty of hope for me. You however, have your nose stuck somewhere else. Just the other day I had to correct you about the subject of Steinkauler in SCOTUS 1939 case of Perkins v. Elg because he was referred to as a native born citizen where you erroneously concluded that a native born is always a natural born citizen.

If you ever return to reality, you’ll understand that
1401 tells you who is a natural born citizen.

Oh, really?! You need to do your homework, son.

Clue in Congress on you false presupposition, as they have
tried to define "Natural Born Citizen" — attemping nearly
30 times since the 1870s — and HAVE been UNABLE to do so,
always breaking down in Committee.

Here's one of their last attempts in 2004:

108th CONGRESS

2d Session

S. 2128

To define the term `natural born Citizen' as used in the Constitution of the United States to establish eligibility for the Office of President.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

February 25, 2004

Mr. NICKLES (for himself, Ms. LANDRIEU, and Mr. INHOFE) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To define the term `natural born Citizen' as used in the Constitution of the United States to establish eligibility for the Office of President.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

Natural

Born

Citizen

SEC. 2. DEFINITION OF `NATURAL BORN CITIZEN' .

Congress finds and declares that the term `natural born Citizen' in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution of the United States means

any person born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof

any person born outside the United States

who derives citizenship at birth from a United States citizen parent or parents pursuant to an Act of Congress

citizen

In this section, the term `United States', when used in a geographic sense, means the several States of the United States and the District of Columbia.

Instead of that little thinking of yours, try reading the article at the top of this thread and the following Supreme Court cases wherein NBC is clearly defined:
