“It doesn’t say both parents must be US citizen. It says “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”. A mother that is a US citizen giving birth in the US is, indeed, subject to the jurisdiction thereof and so is the child. It doesn’t matter the father’s nationality. He could be a space alien for all anyone cares.”
Not sure what you’re getting at here. For MOST of this nations existence, Citizenship was determined ENTIRELY by the father. A Woman became an automatic Citizen if she married an American man. This was only changed in 1920, when women first acquired the ability to transfer citizenship to their offspring independently.
A woman having a Foreign Male’s child would bear a child with another nation’s claim on him. British common law asserted that An English Father automatically makes the child a subject of the British Crown. Ergo, divided loyalty.
This stuff is axiomatic. Divided loyalty is the anti-thesis of “Natural Born Citizen.”
“For MOST of this nations existence, Citizenship was determined ENTIRELY by the father.”
No, it wasn’t. You read that crap on the Internet and spread it like gospel. What an intellectually lazy bum you are. Since this nation’s founding anyone born here was a citizen. We did that to protect people from England’s King trying to claim all perosns here as British subjects.
Due to modern needs that privilege was narrowed in 1952 to be what 8 USC 1401 is. Sorry you’re obviously just too focused on trying to claim Obama’s dad is not a US citizen therefore Obama cannot be.
Fact is, I think people such as yourself are liberal trolls trying to discredit the entire claim that Obama wasn’t even born here. You and your liberal freinds have come here trying to make it sound as if he was born here, then make a claim about his father that won’t hold up so the whole thing dies out.
