This chart omits one other consideration-that of a child born to to US citzens abroad while serving under military or governemntal directive. Such children are still, as I understand it, Natural born. John McCain falls in to this circumstance, as does my son. My Son was issued a “certificate of birth abroad of a US citzen” by the US Embassy in West Germany. He is a natural born citizen.
McCain was born under similar circumstances in the Canal Zone, which was incidental to duty abroad of his father.
Interesting. Has that been determined by Congress or the courts to be so?
That would then imply that Stanley Ann Dunham was working for the United States government in 1961? And who would the citizen father be?
Two US parents and governemen duty are the keys to this whole thing. McCain and my son meet that requirement. Stanley Ann Dunham’s child was fathered (as we are told) by other than a US citizen, so if the child was born in Kenya and Mother was “on offciial orders of the US Governemnt”, he would be neither a natural or native US Citizen. If the child was born in the US (Hawaii for example), and the father was not a US citizen, then the child would certianly not be a natural born citizen, and under close scrtuiny of the 14th Amendment, probably not even a US citzen at all. Lineage follows daddy, not mommy per historical and long accepted international standards...
