A court can only answer the question put before it.

Oh. So you mean that Minor v. Happersett could not POSSIBLY define natural born citizenship, since the question before the Court was whether Virginia Minor should be allowed to vote?

By the way, you still haven't answered my question. Are you willing to go with the evidence on the "law of nations" phrase in the Constitution, or are you completely committed to believing whatever you want, no matter what the evidence?

Come on, now. It's one or the other.

Minor asserts positively that the definition for "natural born citizen" is NOT written in the US Constitution. This blows the theory all to h3ll that the 14th amendment defines it. Judge Waite looked at the 14th amendment and said it wasn't in there.

"The Constitution does not, in words, say who shall be natural-born citizens."

Now either Judge Waite is too stupid to read and understand, or you are. I'm betting on you.
