If you’d bothered to look it up, you’d have the answer to that, instead of arguing out of ignorance.

I know the answer to the question I was asking. No, there were NO Requirements for the mother in 1787. As a matter of fact, Citizenship at that time was completely patrilineal.

Women, upon marriage, were automatically naturalized into their husband's nation.

My point in asking the question was to demonstrate how silly were the beliefs of people who think a "natural born citizen" can have a mother who has to meet "conditions" for him to be a citizen.

The Mothers of "Natural Born Citizens" do not have to meet "conditions."
