RE: 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.

I see no conflict.

If the parent meets the requirement of the statute AT THE TIME OF THE CHILD’s birth, the parent is an American citizen — LEGALLY. The child then takes the parent’s citizenship AT BIRTH.

How is the parent’s citizenship AT THE TIME of the child’s birth then, not the determinitative factor?

You are not connecting cause with effect.

Your claim:

                 Parent is a citizen
     no                   |                 yes   
  --------------------------------------------------
  |                                                |
  |                                                |
 N/A                                          citizenship
                                                granted

Reality:

                 Parent is a citizen
     no                   |                 yes   
  --------------------------------------------------
  |                                                |
  |                                                |
 N/A                               Parent Meets Requirements of Statute
                                                   |
                               no                  |                  yes
