Some Freepers say that both of your parents must have been American citizens at the time of your birth, in order for you to be a natural born citizen.
Other Freepers say as long as you were born in America, you are a natural born citizen.
It doesn’t matter whst someone says, but is it actually in the Constitution?
Many legal experts say the same thing. The question can only be decided by SCOTUS.
Other Freepers say as long as you were born in America, you are a natural born citizen.
Both sets of Freepers are wrong, but the second set is more wrong.
The "two parent" thing is wrong because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how things worked in 1787. If a woman married, she automatically took on the citizenship of her husband. It therefore boils down to whether or not your father was an American, and it didn't matter what your mother was, because when she married, she became an America.
The Second set is wrong because they are mistaking 14th amendment citizenship for being the same thing as natural citizenship.
There has been a lot of misleading and false equivalency on this topic going back almost to the very beginning.
