NBC doesn’t just mean citizen at birth. There was no 14th amendment when this was written in the Constitution. Native Americans, negroes, foreigners and their offspring couldn’t even vote at that time.
The Supreme Court has already ruled several times and declared the NBC to be the natural offspring of both citizen parents.
Obama’s father was here on a student visa. If Obama was born outside the US, there was a statute in place in 1961 that would have applied where Stanley was not old enough to pass citizenship to him. He was born with the citizenship of his father. I don’t think a NBC can be a dual citizen. So, in my opinion, if he was born in Canada or Kenya, or some place other than the US, he is not a citizen and most surely not a NBC.
I find this issue to be very interesting and very important.
That's because those people were not citizens (there were a few Native Americans and freed slaves who became citizens, but generally those populations were non-citizens and thus did not convey native-born citizenship to their descendants).
I find this issue to be very interesting and very important.
I find it to be a distraction, useless at best and damaging at worst, from the task of winning the political battle by winning the allegiance of the voters.
