Good thing, since Trumps mom was born in Scotland.

Which matters not a hill of beans. In 1787, the woman's citizenship is automatically changed to American upon marriage. Women take their husband's citizenship so far as American law applied in 1787.

Only the father's citizenship matters, and you can even see this in the wording of the naturalization act of 1795 which specifically says only children born overseas to an American father are regarded as citizens.

Women did not acquire the ability to pass on citizenship until the Cable act of 1922.

All you need to know is that Alexander Hamilton will never be the President of the United States.

I don’t understand why all of FR’s scholars seem not to notice what you have pointed out here.
