Lets take a look at another recent opinion(s), the Senate resolution proclaiming McCain a US Natural Born Citizen. Senate Res 511. As you need help.

The key statement. "From the Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it"

So the Senate says McCain born to US citizens [that's plural] and born under the jurisdiction of the United States in the Panama Canal zone.

In other words 2 US citizens who are under US jurisdiction by law.

And the Panama Canal Zone under US jurisdiction.

You see, even Lib Leahy who introduced Res. 511 sees it. McCain was not under the jurisdiction of another country by birth or soil. Although there is some dispute if McCain was born within the jurisdiction of the country of Panama.

As pointed out by this Senate Resolution, 2 US citizens on US soil.

You can't say in a Senate resolution saying you are NBC being born to 2 US citizens and under the jurisdiction of a US military base [soil]. And then turn around by arguing out the other side of your mouth saying that a citizen born on US soil and who has 2 foreign nationals as parents or even one parent who passes on his foreign citizenship be taken seriously saying that citizen is also an NBC.

It's not the same; a contradiction.

All you are doing is cherry-picking which parts of Section 1401 in Title 8 of U.S. Code that you want to be use!

You apparently cannot apply logic to this enterprise, so I have to conclude you cannot be further reasoned with, and I shall not try to help you any longer.

Stop with the Senate resolution already. I see your point but it is a flawed resolution that has no force of law so why use it. Plus as I have pointed out before the senate is WRONG. McCain was not born on a military base (and a military base is NOT U.S. soil anyway) He was born in Colon PANAMA which was EXEMPTED from U.S. jurisdiction and NOT legally part of the Canal Zone. (which was NOT U.S. SOIL anyway)McCain is as ineligible to be president as Obama is. Maybe worse, because we HAVE seen McCain’s long form birth certificate.
