“Obviously the intent is that citizen at birth and natural born citizen are synonymous.” Non-Sequitur

This has always been my understanding as well, and what I have maintained consistently. So far there has been much fussin and hollerin, but no actual rebuttal to this point.

There are two types of citizens in the USA, naturalized and natural born. Natural born citizen means that by the natural act of being born, you had citizenship conferred upon you, and are thus a “natural born citizen” rather than a “naturalized” citizen who had to go through a legal process to attain citizenship.

So ... as long as the foreign dictators’s wife conceives the baby on American soil, you are okay with the child returning to the U.S. some day so daddy can buy him an American election ... all due to the “citizenship” ruling in Wong Kim Ark? That is liberal loony left speak. That is the antithesis of the Framers’ intent as it relates to the natural-born requirement for the office of POTUS. Had the Framers penned that into the Constitution, we could have been usurped legally back under British rule as early as the election of 1812! You are reading an awful lot into the Wong Kim Ark decision that is not there. You can pitch it, but don’t expect conservatives to buy it.
