For example, he wanted to know what would happen if the father died before the child was born. Would that be born of two American Citizens? Is it at the time of conception? At the time of Birth?

actually, the life status of the birth father would not change his citizenship

only his proclivity to vote democrat... as everyone knows, the dead vote overwhelmingly democrat

I'm not sure that I agree with that.

There is a legal presumption that the child of a married woman is also the child of her husband. At the death of the husband, the marriage no longer exists. I think that the paternity of the child might reasonably be questioned in determining whether such a child is a "natural born citizen".
