You kill me. I answered your question, the fact you don't realize it underscores the point I made in my response.

I don't see YOUR proof of 2 parent citizen requirement if born on U.S. soil. Admit it, you are confused by jus soli and jus sanguinis, aren't you?

From Merriam/Webster: jus san•gui•nis noun \-ˈsäŋ-gwə-nəs\

Definition of JUS SANGUINIS

: a rule that a child's citizenship is determined by its parents' citizenship

Origin of JUS SANGUINIS

Latin, right of blood
First Known Use: 1902

U.S. law and legal precedent adhere to the fact that Jus Sanguinis applies ONLY to children born of U.S. parents OUTSIDE of the U.S., otherwise Jus Soli is the rule of the land. GET OVER IT!

Cogitate on this. Chester Arthur's father was not a citizen at Chester's birth yet he served as our 21st President without objection. During some political infighting Arthur was accused of being born in Canada - that is why his presidency was questioned. No one cared about his father's credentials but they did care whether Chester was born in Vermont or Canada. Apparently Vermont won out.

Maybe your time would be better spent in a library or finish grade school because that is where you learn this stuff.
