I never said that I wasn’t a “Citizen”.
I am not a ‘”Natural-born” Citizen, as my parents had a allegiance to the British Crown.

Never said you were "natural born", but since no court has ruled on the subject, it would not quite be true to say you were not. I think you were not, you seem to think so as well. But, it's not an issue, unless you want to run for President or Vice President, and you don't sound anywhere near crazy enough for that.

You are entirely welcome to hold that opinion.

My point is that no court opinion has to date agreed with you.

Chester Arthur’s dad was a Brit citizen, and he served as president to high acclaim (after a rough start).

There is even some question, never definitively settled, whether he was born in NY or a few miles across the border.
