See line 72-75 and scroll over to the box that asks about citizenship. Theodore Agnew, Spiro's father, indicates in the box that he is an "al" (for alien). Young Spiro is shown on line 75. We now have two precedents against the birthers. The other is Chester Arthur. Both had non-citizen fathers and NOBODY in either case cared at the time. The controversy over Arthur was solely related to his alleged foreign birth.
If they have never seen a difference, why write a definition? As I pointed out in the quote from the Ark case, the Supreme court says there are two "and only two" forms of citizenship.
There is no third type. That is why it has not been defined.
yes miss goodness, but Romney’s ancestors were citizens of the US by virtue of parentage, their parents being citizens who were working in foreign lands
perhaps not on this forum was there a peep, serious objections were raised in court, on Padilla, but were struck down by activist Federal Judges appointed by Clinton. UN peacekeeping forces were still eligible to enter Iraq, and the prior authorization of the use of force to compel compliance with UN sanctions had not been withdrawn, so Bush 41 was authorized, as was Bill Clinton, and W after him to use force to resolve ongoing issues in Iraq. Agnew was eligible to be president, but resigned amid the watergate scandal, with no admission of guilt, Arthur I cannot comment on, but I suspect his mother’s marriage gave her citizenship even if naturalization had not been perfected.
