There isn’t a “birther” side of this issue, the real law. The Supreme Court cited Minor as the primary precedent on presidential elgibility. Since Minor rejected an argument of citizenship based on the 14th amendment, they effectively rejected any notion that NBC can be defined only on the basis of the place of birth. Otherwise, they should have accepted Minor’s argument, but they didn’t. What other reason would there be for talking about the citizenship of the parents in defining someone’s citizenship, if not for how it exclusively defines NBC??
The courts have rejected Minor as precedent regarding this matter as has been discussed ad nauseam on many other threads here at FR. Haven’t you learned anything from Mr. Rogers? Frankly it is getting very tiresome. Many U.S. born citizens of alien parents were declared NBC in several SCOTUS rulings as well as elsewhere by notable authorities. Are they all part of the conspiracy as well? This paranoia has to stop!
