My "theory," thoroughly supported by long-standing international law, is that every country on earth has the absolute right to decide whom it considers to be a citizen of that country.

And that statement has nothing to do with your theory which is that anyone born within the geographical boundaries of the nation is a "natural" citizen of this nation. OWN your own d@mn theory!

Your theory produces the preposterous result that most other nations can draft our President into their army. This obvious conflict of allegiance just does not seem to sink in with you folk.

What's yours? Do you want French law to tell us who's allowed to be a U.S. citizen? The French sure as hell don't want us telling them who can be a French citizen.

And here you go with another dodge. Jus Sanguinus is the majority position of the entire world. It was established Roman and Greek law going back thousands of years. The United States recognizes Jus Sanguinus as the basis of citizenship for most nations of the world. We have always recognized Jus Sanguinus as a legitimate claim on citizenship and allegiance. It is the majority position of international law, which is that body of the law which deals with citizenship, ergo it cannot be ignored because people like you wish to close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears.

A natural citizen is one who owes sole allegiance by the accepted norms of International law, to the United States, and no other nation.

Nope, wrong again. That’s not my theory at all, it’s the unanimous opinion of all the cases I cited above.

It’s clear that you consider your own opinion to be worth more than that of all the learned judges who have ruled on this question. You are of course entitled to your opinion, and as soon as some court agrees with you, that opinion will have some legal force.

Until then, you’re just another of those people who are convinced they’re right and everyone else is wrong.
