If both parents are citizens a foreign born American can be a Natural Born Citizen, was my point. McCain being born in Panama, for instance.
The college issue is a better target than demanding a birth cert, imo.
I hope this officer has thought things all the way through, otherwise, what a waste of a career.
Only under very limited circumstance. Basically a parent or parents (these days) serving outside the country in the military or diplomatic corps. (the rational being that they never left the jurisdiction of the nation). Persons born outside the country, not falling in those categories may be citizens at birth, as may those with only a single citizen parent, and born outside the country. But the Courts have ruled that those citizens at birth, via statute law, are "naturalized at birth", under Congress delegated power to define the rules for naturalization. But being naturalized, they are not Natural Born.
