From what I read regarding the 1790 statue you can be born on foreign soil but both parents need to be U.S. citizens. That is the rub.

You repeatly post that your reading of the phrase "children of citizens" in the above 1790 statute means 2 USC parents are required. But you refuse to respond to my reply debunking that claim. I'll give you another chance:

Those who claim the plural "citizens" excludes children of only 1 citizen parent must also claim that the plural "children" excludes only 1 child of citizen parents!

Clearly an unsupportable reading of the statute.
