Not that you’re necessarily wrong ... but a Law Journal Article is pretty weak support.

I’ve seen this argument (that natural born citizenship requires 2 U.S. citizen parents, or at least a U.S. citizen father) before, and I’ve always had one question - what if we don’t know the identity of someone’s father? Is a child born out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother, who does not know the identity of the child’s father, a “natural born citizen” who will grow up to be eligible to serve as President?

I'm not a lawyer, but as I read this, it sounds like it's an argument for Obama's NBCship--assuming he was born in Hawaii--unless the claim is either that mothers can't transmit citizenship the way fathers can, or that the requirement is for two citizen parents. I don't think the former stands much chance in today's courts, and the latter has always seemed like a ridiculously weak argument to me. Could you clarify exactly what you think this treatise demonstrates?

Does this article have the force of law? Or is it just another of a long line of articles and dissents that sound great, but have no legal weight?

You know the answer....
