Well, good luck trying to get the Supreme Court to address it. They made it pretty clear in 1898 - clear enough that no one has sustained a challenge to the idea in the intervening 110 years. The Indiana courts were in the mainstream of thought when they ruled that any one born in the USA is a natural born citizen.

And EVERY state has apparently concluded the same - any one could challenge the idea in court by simply passing a law (or getting a ruling from the DA) that natural born citizen does NOT allow a foreign citizen parent. Since that state would disagree with Indiana, it would force the Supreme Court to rule.

You can expect or hope for it to happen. I am certain it won’t. We’ll see who is correct. I’ve been wrong before, so I might be again.

In this instance, there is 'no doubt.'
