My statement is NOT ridiculous. Yes, my father was stationed in Germany. I was born in a German hospital. I do not have a born in the USA birth certificate. My parents are the only people that could give me natural born citizenship. They did NOT.

So your father who was serving his country in the military somehow cheated you out of your NBC because he was serving his country? Nice. Perhaps you should sue your father and mother for being such lousy parents /s

It is what it is. Given my father laid on a hillside in the Korean war, shooting artillery shells, and was with the group that returned the colors in a New York City parade, cheating me never entered my mind. I was raised to know that I was blessed beyond my ability to imagine, to be an American citizen. All it meant to me was that I was not eligible to hold the office of president.

Seems to me the ‘natural born’ citizens of the United States would have more loyalty to their birthright. But hey, there is that story of Esau, who sold his birthright for a ‘red’ bowl of pottage. (lentils) Then God made sure he lost his blessing as well. Seems too many are willing to sell their birthright to some charismatic preacher type.

If you want "natrual/constitutional" citizenship to descend by blood, live in a different country. In the US, born-abroad (unless you are a diplomat) is an alien. Natrualization acts operate to make most (but not all) of these births US citizens.

From my point of view, you are willing and eager to subvert the US constitution.
