I smell a trap here. These two are maneuvering us into an constitutional showdown that ends in either foreign born NBCs or natural born anchor babies as the law of the land. I don’t want to accept either of those premises but it could very well happen.
Children born abroad to diplomats have always been natural born citizens. Why? Diplomatic immunity. The laws of the country in which they’re serving the US do not apply, not even citizenship laws regarding children born there. The whole natural born citizen thing is jurisdictional. No jurisdiction of any foreign sovereignty, only US jurisdiction, makes a natural born citizen. That’s true of a birth abroad and it’s true of a birth in the country. Or, at least that’s the conclusion I’ve reached after looking into the matter pretty thoroughly.

No doubt in my mind its a trap.
I will not vote for anyone who is not NBC.
We need to take a stand.
Why?
Its the long game of immigration.
We need to take a constitutional legal stand on anchor babies etc, which is all based on similar constitutional issues. Next thing you know, everyone will be constitutionally protected and we will be unable to remove one single person from the country. Not one. It’s a set up to bait the “conservatives”; the only group that consistently sticks up for the constitution.
And both the Democrats and the Republicans are in on this. Sorry folks.
