In the Wong Kim Ark’s case in 1898, the Supreme Court used the term of “native born citizen” to described Ark’s U.S. birth instead of stating him to be a “natural born citizen”. A distinction made by the Supreme Court at the time that would only mean to be Wong Ark could not legally become President.
Wrongo. Read the whole decision. I did.
It uses the terms natural-born and native-born interchangeably. It is also very clear there are only two classes of American citizens.
