Only one parent has to be a citizen in order for a child to be a citizen. Nobody argues that a child born within the nation’s boundaries to a mother who is a citizen would NOT be natural-born.

Further, Supreme Court precedent says that any child born in this country is a “natural-born citizen”, even if neither parent is a citizen, and even if both parents are here illegally. We can argue whether that is correct or not, but that is how the judiciary interprets the question now.

I thought you were an honest poster until I read the following blatant falsehood; why would you try to deceive readers at FR having been a freeper for so long?

"Nobody argues that a child born within the nation’s boundaries to a mother who is a citizen would NOT be natural-born."

Not when he was born. Check it out. Law of nations or anywhere to do with NATURAL born will say both parents.

Wrong. They might be a citizen, but not natural born citizen.

“Nobody argues that a child born within the nation’s boundaries to a mother who is a citizen would NOT be natural-born.”

If the father was not a US citizen, the child is not Natural Born. One citizen parent cannot bear a Natural Born Citizen.
