Yes it is interesting. They also point out that just because a statute states that some one is a natural born citizen (NBC) does not imply that he or she is such a person for constitutional purposes.

Now, that's clear thinking, and utterly rational. I will posit that every country on the planet considers the matter of citizenship in that same light.

So should we.
