"They fell under our jurisdiction because by law because they were actually bared from citizenship, the question before the court was did he get citizenship even though his parents were barred from it."

What did they decide?

“What did they decide?”

They decided that, even though his parents had moved him back to China and claimed for him Chinese citizenship, Wong Kim Ark had the right to reclaim his U.S. citizenship status at any time, by virtue of his birth on U.S. soil.

That Kim was a citizen however the question of what defines jurisdiction was still not addressed.

There are those of us here that contend that his mother because she was not 21 or had reached the age of majority at the time she gave birth according to the law at the time, could not pass on her citizenship to him and that because his father could pass on his British citizenship according to their laws did so.

If indeed Obama’s original vault copy birth certificate shows him being born outside the US, and it appears that would be the best reason he has for only showing a copy or forgery created in 2007, then he is not natural born because the law of the land at the time prevented his mother from passing her citizenship to him to prevent just the sort of issue we are facing, someone who is not a natural born citizenand has divided loyalties from becoming our president.
