He was ruled a citizen who did not need to be naturalized to become a citizen -- i.e. he was a citizen by virtue of the circumstances of his birth, aka a "natural born citizen".
*cough*
Obammy’s daddy was not and never was a US citizen, pass it on.
BladeBryan, is that you? Your arguments are still stupid. Firstly, the Wong Court got it wrong. They intentionally ignored the debate in Congress which explicitly stated that citizenship would not apply to the children of transient aliens. Secondly, even if the 14th Amendment so intended (which it did not) it still was not intended to re-define the Presidential Eligibility requirements which Preceded the 14th amendment and remained in effect both before and after. Thirdly, You are again behaving as a opposition partisan and not as someone who considers the whole issue "flapdoodle" as you pretend.
The Fact that you lied about this is good enough for me. I think you need to be zotted.
He was deemed a citizen ...by virtue of the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution...
You even give it away with your own words...He was ruled a citizen...
You didn't say "He was ruled a natural born citizen..."
