Could you please read your own link? It does not discuss anything about Natural Born Citizenship other than the born abroad question. The only time it mentions parents it does so in the plural form, which implies that BOTH parents are required to be US Citizens. YOUR LINK is only marginally useful in our discussion because their is no definition of Natural Born Citizen given within the book. The only reference to parentage is given in plural which discounts your position. I grudgingly admire your Alinsky inspired bravado in trying to claim victory when the facts show that once again you have failed completely.

I see. So it’s not good enough to produce a book that talks about natural born citizenship but doesn’t support any two-parent qualification. I need a book that could’ve been used as a text in the mid-20th century and which actively defined ‘natural born citizen’ in such a way that clearly *rejects* the two-parent qualification?

Okay:

“A person born in the United States is a natural born citizen”

And from ‘Introduction to American Government’:

“But children born in the United States to foreign consuls or to other foreign citizens or subjects residing or temporarily sojourning here are held to be natural-born citizens”

Is that last one specific enough?
