David has expressed something (courtesy ping to David) along the lines of “yes, just having a foreigner for a father makes him a non-NBC, but for public opinion to influnce political action, proof of birth on foreign soil may be needed.”
Something along those lines. IOW, his supporters and the capon R politicians may need something more since obviously so many fools right here on FR think (or at least make the arugment) that a foreign father means squat.
Kind of like (when I served on a grand jury), the DAs would throw as many charges as possible on a criminal even for just one criminal act. Just so something would stick.
No. I have never said anything like that.
Natural Born Citizen is a legal conclusion. My opinion is that if faced with the question with respect to a person who is born in the territory of the several states, the Supreme Court will likely rule that the person is a Natural Born Citizen for the reason that the 14th Amendment modified the rights of all persons born in the US to include all rights of any citizen including treatment as a Natural Born Citizen under the Constitution.
Although I agree that the historical common law rules that would apply to determine the question should be applicable to deny the status to children of Non-citizens where the parents are not in residence or base citizenship condition, that isn't the way the Supreme Court is likely to come down in the modern world.
