I've said this since the first time I saw this claim about both parents being citizens. When the Constitution was drafted, it was often easy to identify the mother, but identifying the father was inherently speculative. And, I just don't think many folks back then thought we should design an eligibility standard that evades simple proof. Americans have always been a very practical people.

It's just another one of those reasons that I have for doubt about the "two citizen parents" requirement. The Jews have always known that maternity is more reliable than paternity.

And, I agree! ;-)

No proof required. Legally, the Husband of the marriage is ALWAYS the father. That *IS* a matter of English civil law which we kept.
