Yes, by a law with an even more expansive definition of birthright
citizenship.


I see your problem here. You are assuming birthright
citizenship is the same as natural born citizen. There
is nothing in the law that says that (altho it's not an
unreasonable assumption). There is considerable reason
to think the founding fathers did not consider them to
be the same thing.


Quite the contrary, actually -- leading me to ask, again, if you actually read that Harvard Law
Review article, which discusses _at_length_ the considerations that informed the founding
fathers.
