That's a big "if". It would still depend on who his actual father was as to whether or not he was a natural born citizen.

What if he did not know who his father was? Is the child of a US citizen mother, with an unidentified father, a natural born citizen according to your definition?

What if he did not know who his father was?
Then he would be a liar as he's said who his father was numerous times. That's fraud.

Is the child of a US citizen mother, with an unidentified father, a natural born citizen according to your definition?
I would say that until a father was identified the child would be a citizen, but not a natural born citizen. There wouldn't be enough evidence to come to that conclusion.

Would you consider the mother of such a child a tramp or just a young woman who made a mistake?
