I specified “citizenship”.

The Constitution refers to citizenship, and it refers to natural born citizenship. Those two terms are not identical, obviously.

It is impossible to force natural born citizenship status onto a child born in another country of a Cuban father. When the natural born requirement was written into the Constitution, citizenship descended only through the father, as stipulated in the Naturalization Act of 1790 that defines what natural born citizenship is.

Yeah...I have heard that argument...in what way does it supersedes current law...?

What about the current law I cited...?

Are you going to ignore current law or stick with a law written in 1790...?

I’m leaning you are myopic....
