Have you read Rogers v. Bellei, 401 U.S. 815 (1971)?

Oops, nevermind, I see that is the case you were citing! Mea culpa.

Rogers seems definitive on the issue of a person born overseas having one U.S. citizen parent.

Some people argue what the law or even the Constitution should say. Others argue what the law or the Constitution should be interpreted as saying. But, legally, the Supreme Court has been very clear.

I have no beef with politicians who use the matter for political advantage. We’re not playing tiddlywinks. But Lawrence Tribe should be held to a different standard.
