Anchor babies do not qualify: Harris, Haley, Ramaswamy
Born outside the US do not quality: Cruz. His parents had emigrated to Canada, not just visiting. Dad was Cuban. Cruz had or may of had Cuban, Canadian, and US citizenship.
Obama. Citizen mom, born in US, Kenyan and British dad. I think the first two negated the foreign citizenship. His mom did adopt him to Indonesian husband, maybe giving up US citizenship. But, no one had standing to challenge.
His mother wasn’t old enough to confer citizenship to him in August 1961 due to the immigration laws. I think she was 3 months shy of her 19th birthday in November. He was born too early.
In Slaughter-House Cases (1872) and Elk v. Wilkins (1884), the Supreme Court affirmed the framers’ originally intended meaning of “jurisdiction”. In both
cases, a child born on U.S. soil, of a foreign-citizen father, is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction at birth. Such a child is subject to the jurisdiction of the
foreign government to which the child’s father owes allegiance. Consequently, such a child is not a 14th Amendment citizen at birth [26].
“Panama John” McCain, born not in the PCZ, not that that would have made a difference, but in Colón Panama. Not an NBC.
2008 was the year of political Mutually Assured Destruction.
We have no proof of where he was born. Hawaii is a state that issues birth certificates to people *NOT BORN IN HAWAII*, so that isn't proof he was born in the US.
The available evidence tends to indicate he was born in Canada at a home for unwed mothers. His father even wrote a letter saying they were giving him up for adoption.
No, Vattel didn’t define NBC that way. He didn’t use the term, but instead used “indigenes” and “natives”. It took a bad translation made AFTER the US Constitution to insert that.
