The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties were to present for determination the single question stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United States, of parent of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.
He was deemed a citizen ...by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution..., not upon Article II of the Constitution, which was the very question the court was asked to decide upon.
All of your SCREAMING isn't going to change that last sentence. He was declared a citizen, not a natural born citizen, because he was born on US soil to foreigners. Period!
It really is that simple.
Either the court ruled that the 14th Amendment was declaratory or it wasn’t.
Which is it????
HINT - Read the dissent if you can’t figure it out.
Btw, I have a Court of Appeals case that has referenced Wong in an Obama case.
What do YOU have.
Your own interpretation which means nothing.
