It may not make sense to you but it appears to make sense to judges and members of Congress.
It was Supreme Court Justice Horace Gray, writing for the majority in U.S. v Wong Kim Ark in 1898 who made the definitive statement of connection between natural born subject and natural born citizen. I know of no judge and no member of Congress who has challenged that statement of connection over the last 117 years.
Mr. Justice Gray wrote: “[An alien parent’s] allegiance to the United States is direct and immediate, and, although but local and temporary, continuing only so long as he remains within our territory, is yet, in the words of Lord Coke in Calvin’s Case, 7 Coke, 6a, ’strong enough to make a natural subject, for, if he hath issue here, that issue is a natural-born subject’
“Subject’ and ‘citizen’ are, in a degree, convertible terms as applied to natives; and though the term ‘citizen’ seems to be appropriate to republican freemen, yet we are, equally with the inhabitants of all other countries, ’subjects,’ for we are equally bound by allegiance and subjection to the government and law of the land.’
…every child born in England of alien parents was a natural-born subject, unless the child of an ambassador or other diplomatic agent of a foreign state, or of an alien enemy in hostile occupation of the place where the child was born.
The same rule was in force in all the English colonies upon this continent down to the time of the Declaration of Independence, and in the United States afterwards, and continued to prevail under the constitution as originally established.”
Coincidently, Founder and Framer and “Father of the Constitution” James Madison accepted French Citizenship and thus became a dual citizen.
I don’t think that there are many people who would question James Madison’s allegiance.
You clearly have lost the argument and are now grasping at straws. I have made my case and am more than satisfied to let the reader be the judge.
And that is a mental image that inspires hilarity.
