Are Persons Born Within the United States Ipso Facto Citizens Thereof - George D. Collins

I can certainly point out where in the referenced document we are to find the issues of race: "The Chinese, for instance, are a people foreign to us in every respect... they are antagonistic to our civilization; know nothing and refuse to know anything of our institutions..." etc. This fantasy law fiction was authored by an anti-Chinese bigot according to the bigotry fashion of the time. Fashion changes and so now we have the birfoons.

I invite you birfoons to examine the term "naturalized citizen": what does the word "naturalize" mean (hint: to make something/somebody natural)? Therefore, what does the difference between natural born citizen and made natural citizen reduce to (hint: just born or made)? It's really that simple: the Founding Fathers knew English and knew what they were writing.

Acerbic1: "The Constitution mentions exactly two types of citizenship: born and naturalized." You must not have read the article, Acerbic. The term "natural born citizen" (right out of the Constitution) is separate and distinct term (from either a born or a naturalized citizen). You can be a regular or naturalized citizen, but still not be a natural born citizen.

Since Acerbic (the Obamabot troll showing up many times in the comments below) believes that only "racist scumbags with lawyeristic tendencies have been trying for hundreds of years to twist the law" might be the type to question an issue of eligibility, perhaps he can point out where in the referenced document we are to find the issues of race? Until you put down the bottle of pills, dude, there is no way you will recover...

The Constitution mentions exactly two types of citizenship: born and naturalized. Suck on it, birfoons.
