“Born to two US citizens on US soil = Natural born status.

Born to 1 US citizen and 1 Foreign citizen on US soil = US Citizen.”

Please tell me what law discriminates between these two designations. I have never heard of anyone being born a citizen who isn’t a natural born citizen.

It is only the way that I interpret what the founding fathers meant by natural born. You can be a citizen and be a Senator, but you must be a natural born to be the President or Vice President. It has to be a more stringent rule.

I am assuming do to the previous post I made about the Perkins case. Elg was only considered a citizen, not natural born since one of her parents was still a foreign citizen.

I think it is very difficult for us as laymen to really determine what the founders meant, but they did state natural born to US citizens (plural) which only could mean both parents. Again, not a lawyer!
