Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Natural-born-citizen clause. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. 'If you're going to mention Minor v. Happersett in this article, you need to refer to a reliable secondary source which discusses this case and the implications (if any) for presidential eligibility of what the court's opinion says regarding natural-born citizenship. See WP:RS. You cannot simply quote from the opinion itself and then state your own conclusion, based on no sources except for your own understanding of what the opinion means. Please also read the talk page for Minor v. Happersett, note carefully the difference between "holdings" and "dicta", and be aware that this was a voting rights case (so nothing said in the court's opinion can be assumed to be definitive on the question of presidential eligibility — Mrs. Minor wasn't trying to run for President, she was trying to vote).' — Rich wales 18:41, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
