Fight the Smears: The Truth About Barack
Here are some others born in the U.S. to foreign citizen/subject fathers. Note that they were NOT U.S. citizens:
Secretary of State Frederick Frelinghuysen determined Ludwig Hausding, though born in the U.S., was not born a U.S. citizen because he was subject to a foreign power at birth having been born to a Saxon subject alien father.
Similarly, Secretary of State Thomas Bayard determined Richard Greisser, though born in Ohio, was not born a U.S. citizen because Greisser's father, too, was an alien, a German subject at the time of Greisser's birth. Bayard specifically stated that Greisser was at birth ' subject to a foreign power,' therefore not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment.

In direct contrast, Miss Elg, who was born in Brooklyn, New York, on October 2, 1907 to parents who had naturalized in 1906 was declared "a natural born citizen of the United States," in a lower court ruling which SCOTUS then affirmed.

And yet YOU are the person who posted the statement from the State Department that their rulings don't govern the determination of who is and who isn't a natural born citizen.
You can't have it both ways, you know.

No, I didn't.
What the State Dept says is this:
"In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes."

Yep, the State Department doesn't make determinations of who is a natural-born citizen for Constitutional purposes. (Hint: the only Constitutional purpose is Presidential eligibility.) The State Department is expressly stating that their statutory rulings are irrelevant to actually determining who is a natural-born citizen. Because they are neither in the judiciary branch nor in the legislative branch of our government.

Indeed, it is.
Yet some are still struggling with the facts out of some kind of bizarre misguided devotion. The cognitive dissonance is absolutely stunning to behold.
