There is no wording within the Constitution that differentiates category 2 from category 3.

It is a given that the undefined terms in the Constitution are defined in the English Common Law that was the legal heritage of this nation. Literally thousands of Supreme Court cases over the last 200+ years will back that up.

The pirate Roberts was placed where he is to stall the hearing of the issue at SCOTUS. Byt the time little barry bastard commie is into his second term, the court will be leaning so far left that the Constitution and the founders’ intentions will be a buried issue. Fiat ruling will be the standard, just as fiat executive orders are little bastard’s standards now.

There is no wording within the Constitution that differentiates category 2 from category 3.

It is a given that the undefined terms in the Constitution are defined in the English Common Law

"The first and most obvious division of the people is into aliens and natural-born subjects. Natural-born subjects are such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England, ... and aliens, such as are born out of it. "

- Blackstone, Commentaries on the Laws of England

So apparently English Common Law doesn't differentiate between category 2 and 3 either.

Blackstone also says this:

"The children of aliens, born here in England, are, generally speaking, natural-born subjects, and entitled to all the privileges of such. In which the constitution of France differs from ours; for there, by their jus albinatus, if a child be born of foreign parents, it is an alien."
