A single US citizen parent cannot obtain “natural born citizenship” for their child. To be a “natural born citizen”, you have to be born within the United States and have two US citizen parents.
I've seen this basic summary of the issue before.But which court(s),if nay,have ruled this way or confirmed this position.Not trying to be a wise a$$...I honesty don't know.
I agree. We seem to have lost that argument long ago.
Mark Levin says Marco Rubio is qualified and his parents were not citizens at the time of his birth. Lots of others agree just being born on US soil is all that is needed.
I think the possibility of going back to the definition you and I believe is not going to happen.
But what if the child is born via Ceasarian Section and not natural child birth, or one inwhich the mother was given a sedative or pain killers during labor and the birthing process? Do those invalidate citizenship because the child was not born “naturally?” ;-)
