Cornell Law School says otherwise.

"Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship."

and subject to its jurisdiction

that is the big question

I’d suggest you read the decision directly instead of reading some LS student’s editorial in their Law Review paper. The Wong Decision has been posted on FR several times and it bears no resemblance to Cornel’s editorial.......it is exactly as I said in my original post.

Reading the USSC’s decision directly should clear up your confusion concerning the tern NBC.

I’d suggest you refer to the Constitution’s preamble to learn that our Constitution is based upon “natural law”. Then discover that the Framer’s used a 1757 text titled.....”law of nations; NATURAL LAW” in writing the Constitution. Read Chapter 5 of the text. You’ll see that the decisions of the USSC quote “Law of Nations” directly when they define NBC.

Ignorance can be cured through education.....stupidity such as CORNELL’S LS CANNOT.

Yes FR is an Opinion Forum, but quoting a agenda driven opinion (a weak attempt to legitimize Obama)to support your opinion is itself pretty weak......

Cornell Law School is not the arbitrator of the Constitution. They are completely wrong when citing the 14th Amendment.

So Says a Cornellian.
