Sec. 1401(g) provides: The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: . . . (g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years . . . .

Congress won’t pass a law to accomodate an enemy combatant.

What do you mean, Congress won’t pass such a law? The likelihood is that the Democrats will have majorities in both houses, and they could get to 60 in the Senate, or close enough that they can get things done with the help of two or three liberal Republicans. When have the Democrats in Congress cared about protecting the US from enemy combatants? Maybe a couple of generations ago...
