Grasping the rule of Minor V. Happersett involves grasping what was at issue (and it was not her citizenship).

Plus, she being born in the US, and Cruz being born abroad, the case just doesn't apply to him. On the question of citizenship, the case is best viewed as one views a commentary on the law, illuminating, perhaps, principles of law. But it has only persuasive force, and that, in the realm of citizenship to persons born in the US, of non-citizens.

I missed your post. Sorry.

‘Plus, she being born in the US, and Cruz being born abroad, the case just doesn’t apply to him.’

Let me see if I understand this correctly, in other words, ‘Cruz not being eligible is not a violation of her rights.’

Is that the point?

Agreed, absolutely. Dicta only. And mine, merely personal opinion.
