Yes, you understood me correctly.

Then the statute is meaningless.
In fact, every statute granting citizenship to the foreign-born child of a citizen is meaningless.
Good luck.

In post 95 you agreed that the citizen parent must meet the requirement of statute. Now you assert the citizenship of the parent is the determining factor.
Your thinking is inconsistent and does not connect cause with effect.
