Irrelevant. The consideration is that the father was not a citizen so, in order for the child to be a natural born citizen the mother must have been a citizen for 10 years at least and 5 of those after reaching the age of 16. Actually I think this all depends on the child having been born outside of the US and its territories. Without a real birth certificate, and given the other circumstances there is some question about that.
Yes, thank you, arthurus. depressed in 06 clarified this for me. It seems to be an issue.
He is certainly not qualified in the larger sense. It appears that he fails on the technicalities as well.
However, I wonder if there is any legislative history that would indicate that this was meant for parents that were naturalized citizens rather than those who were born citizens. I don’t know the answer. Just thinking.
