Close, yes. there were a couple authors of the view that it was only the father’s citizenship that counted...But that appeared to be a minority and both parents’ citizenships were generally required , plus birth locus of course

I am of the mind that it is the Father that the child follows....the child takes his name after all.

Considering it used to be that the wife became the man via marriage, she became a citizen too so in that time the two parent citizenship is moot in my view.

As to the canal zone kerfuffle over McCain, he was born outside the zone, yes a technicality but none the less it happened.

It is curious that the Senate pass SR511, though not binding, yet they passed it.

Even more curious was it was Clinton and Obama who instigated it.

a senate resolution is just one step less useful than a sheet of toilet paper

and yes, its sponsorship was indeed curious.. as has been the mass media’s almost-lockstep cover-up ever since

at least in USSR they had their sanizdat (underground newspapers) that reported on their government’s activities....(I guess FR is our samizdat)
