Well, I believe the standard was either a US Embassy, or military base...and maybe to parents in foreign service to the US.
Also no mention of what happens when parent is a natural-born American citizen and one isn't.
The type of parental US citizenship is not relevant.
And I see it says anyone born on American soil is possibly a natural-born American citizen, regardless of their parents' status.
If you read it again, I think you'll find that it appears the Justice doesn't think much of the anchor baby concept.
>>>There’s no mention there of what happens when a child who parents are either both American citizens, or one is, happens to be born on foreign soil

The SC ruling excerpt has to do with who is a citizen, not the Constitutional NBC issue directly.
And beliefs and maybes aren’t legal rulings. The situation wasn’t legally clear for service people as questions were raised about John McCain with his Panama birth to a service parent.

You brought up to me that Cruz’s father wasn’t an American citizen, as if, then, that was relevant to his NBC status. And there is also no mention in the ruling you excerpt from about what happens when one parent is a citizen of any type and the other isn’t, which is what I was getting at.

I got a possible sense of that the first time, although it seems his opinion is vague on that, but what does him not thinking much of it matter, since it is indeed primarily how citizenship is being established - birth on American soil without respect to the citizenship status of either parent.
