None of that makes a difference. Natural born status is not transferred through the maternal line by any definition of Natural Born Citizen around at the time of the founding fathers.

Give me a break.

Natural born citizen is not defined by the US Constitution. So instead, we rely on the US code and various acts (such as the Naturalization Act of 1790) to determine intent.

US Code of course stipulates it is passed through the mother, as I’m pretty sure most sensable people would support. Heck, if a woman can vote, maybe citizenship can pass through her as well...
