Wait a sec. Are you suggesting that a child born to the non-citzen father is not a natural born at the time of birth, but then somehow magically becomes a natural born citizen when his father subsequently naturalizes?

From English Common Law, a person must be born BOTH within the dominion of the sovreign AND under a single solitary allegiance to that same sovreign.

If a person is born whose father had a foreign allegiance and then the father subsequently naturalizes - the person is a citizen, although not natural born.

If that person then has children - born within the sovreign's dominion and under his allegiance, the children ARE natural born.

That is - the son of the naturalized father is merely a citizen, but the grandchildren of the naturalized father are natural born citizens.

The Wong court disagreed, as does virtually every other constituional scholar alive today.
