Sure it's relevant. I'm trying to understand what your theory of natural born citizenship is. You've stated that NBCs *must* have two citizen parents.

That's Two US parents and the child born on US soil is a natural born citizen. I've been consistent from the beginning.

Back in #690 you wrote:

"You can poo poo it all you want, but the mere fact that Obama had a British/Kenyan citizenship at birth makes Obama not eligible to be president."

So in that post you claimed it was the mere fact of his dual citizenship that made him ineligible, without regard to his parents' citizenship. A mere fact that persons such as Bubba share, which would make them ineligible for the Presidency. In this post, and in others, you've claimed that it was his father's citizenship status that made him ineligible. That's a standard that would not make persons such as Bubba ineligible.

So are you simply saying now that #690 was just phrased poorly, that dual citizenship at birth doesn't matter at all by itself, and that it's only parental citizenship that matters (whether or not that parental citizenship imparts dual citizenships on the child)?

Both Vattel and Blackstone state exceptions to the "in the country" requirement for children born of those serving the sovereign/nation outside of it's borders.
