An unfortunate thing I realized a while back:
Obama could have been born on the moon and still been allowed to be President. Why?
To be president you have to be a citizen. One of the ways you can do that is for one of your parents to be a citizen. Obamas mother was a citizen. Thus, he is allowed to ne president.
Sad.
Wrong... For the president and the president only, he must be a "NATURAL BORN CITIZEN"... learn it... remember it... and don't talk anymore shit you don't know about...
It's interesting that you reference U.S. v Wong Kim Ark, yet you ignore this part of that decision ...
At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children, born in a country of parents who were its citizens, became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives, or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further, and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction, without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class, there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens.
Do you understand the highlighted part? It means that some authorities consider people born in the U.S. to be "natural born citizens," while others have doubts about that, but that question did not need to be answered in order to render a decision on the case. Meaning that it's still an open question.
And guess what? You don't get to define it.
As far as you classifying citizens in 1 of 3 categories ("natural born", "citizen by statute", and "native born") .... from U.S. v Wong Kim Ark ...

... there is no distinction between native and natural born.
