Okay, thanks for the clarification. I thought you were saying something about a NBC child being adopted and etc.

Sorry I have another question now. I just like to make sure I clearly understand what people write. You said:

What I have said consistently, is that it is the widespread and generally accepted view of the Constitutional Law Bar as well as the scholarly Law review documents on the topic, that any person who is born in the geographical territory of the several states is a citizen and obtains all of the rights of citizenship including but not limited to natural born citizenship for purposes of Article II of the Constitution.

Even if one or both parents are foreigners?

Yes.

That doesn't mean you wouldn't make arguments to the contrary; it doesn't mean you wouldn't introduce the correspondence among members of the Constitutional Convention regarding Vittel; but the real bottom line is that if he can prove he was born in the USA, he is almost certain to prevail on the Natural Born issue; if we can prove he was not born in the USA, he should lose.
