No, she doesn’t “fail”. That test applies if ONLY the mother were US citizen. Trump would have been US citizen through his father and by native birth regardless. His mother didn’t have to “pass” her citizenship to him - he was born with US citizenship. So, how long she was a citizen did not matter in the least as long as it was prior to Trumps birth.

the point was that people who try to claim Ted isn’t a citizen arbitrarily go back to certain precepts/rules in order to make hte4 case- there are rules at one point which stated that both parents ‘must be natural born citizens’ (pointing all the way back to English law which our laws were based on they claim) (but the funny thing is the people making the claim won’t acknowledge that NBC parents handed down citizenship by descent according to this same regulation in England), then others state only the father needs to be a ‘citizen’ or ‘native citizen’ - then later rules stated the mother was allowed to pass citizenship, and of on and so forth- the fact is that it was left to congress to define the regulations/requirements down through the ages, so those making claims that Ted isn’t eligible, based on the first regulations citing need for both parents being NBC and child born ‘on soil’- then this disqualifies trump as well-
