In your original comment, your conditions for TRUE Natural Born were incomplete to begin with as you have been fooled by the Progressives into believing that only one U.S. parent (A or B) is required if a child is born on American soil (C). Therefore, I was subtly nudging you by bringing up the AND operator. I figured you were intelligent enough to pick up on that and I just didn't want to spend my Sunday afternoon leading you by the hand. But since you obviously didn't understand what I meant, here's the math with the addition of Jus Soli (C)

Born on (C) American soil AND of parents (A*B)owing sole allegiance to the United States equals TRUE.

Born on (C')foreign soil under the jurisdiction of the United States AND of parents (A*B) owing sole allegiance to the United States equals TRUE.

Clarification Notes: (C') is a "NOT C" and (X) is "Don't Care."

By using an X in the following Boolean equations, I am saying that X = C or C'. I am NOT saying that X = born on foreign soil which is not under U.S. jurisdiction. The Boolean equations are:

1) (A*B)X = TRUE

- That is to say: (A*B)C= TRUE as well as (A*B)C'=TRUE. Therefore, (A*B)X = TRUE

3) ((A+B)X) = Confusion

4) ((A'*B)X) + ((A*B')X) = More confusion

Now do you understand what I was implying?

Cheers

you have been fooled by the Progressives into believing that only one U.S. parent (A or B) is required if a child is born on American soil (C).

I'm going by the clear meaning of the law mentioned in the original post. It is clear from that text that the requirement of having a father who is a Citizen applies only to a child not born on U.S. soil.

Perhaps there is another law that defines it for someone who was born on U.S. soil, but I'm not aware of such a law.

If the requirement of a father who was a Citizen were true in all cases, then it would be redundant to include it here. It it were not a requirement in the "default" case, then it would make sense to list it here.

Since the authors of the Constitution failed to define the term "natural born citizen", and since this law only describes the parental requirement for someone who was not born in the U.S., you have failed to prove your point.
