Whether or not it requires BOTH parents for such NBC to be USA citizens is another question. I have seen that stated elsewhere, but did not have forethought to save or bookmark it. If I remember correctly, only one citizen parent is required.

Only as a result of an act passed in Congress in 1934. Prior to this act, the Father had to be a citizen. It was regarded as discriminatory, hence the passage of the Citizenship act of 1934.

Thanks, that may be the reference I lost, but I think it was much older than 1934. Will do a search tonight.
