Personally, I define NBC as "citizen at birth."

So, Putin, Chavez, Castro could pop a kid here, and the kid is a NBC?

Nuts, that is not what the Founders or the 14th intended.

On the flip side. Since, the wordage is parent, not married.

In theory, every child that was born outside the US from a American male sperm donor, as long as donor lived in the US for a set amount of time, creates a US citizen.

Every foreign hooker who has a kid from a US male creates a US citizen. Odd.
