Military families have children overseas every day. Are we to exclude these children?

Of course. The loyalty of children born to warriors overseas is suspect. They get it from Daddy.

No. Military families may leave the country, but they're don't leave the jurisdiction of the US because they remain in service TO it.

They're exempted, just like the children of ambassadors and diplomats are.

At the time of the Founding, few if any soldiers were stationed overseas. So yes, it was the intent of the Framers to exclude them.

Military children? If the child is born in a US military installation and the parent has been sent and is serving at that location when the child is born to that person, that should count as US soil.

I wouldn't include contractors or foreign service and both parents would have to be US citizens.

Depending on where, most US military bases abroad are considered sovereign soil of the United States. All Embassies are considered sovereign soil of their respective country, when the embassy is established. If the child is born in the embassy or on the US base, it is as if they were born in the states.

Doesn’t matter to Trumpsters...! They love the republican establishment guy.

Trump gave 60 million dollars to the Mitch McConnel campaign, he gave tens of thousands of dollars to the Harry Reid campaign, and tens of thousands more to get Nancy Pelosi, and Hillary Clinton elected. He is still their guy. Go figure....!
