Ok, but some would demand 2 NBCs.

And to show how sticky it could get, what about a child born overseas, where the two citizen parents were vacationing and baby came early.

What about a child born in a US embassy overseas, a US military base overseas, or a child born on a US flagged ship in international waters.

Not trying to be a ball breaker, just showing how complicated the place of birth issue can become.

I have never seen anyone suggest that parents need to be NBC to create one. The parents must be citizens, and the child needs to be born on US soil or to a diplomat on the country’s business.
The trail is fascinating on NBC. The Founders were passionate about it, especially James Madison. We still have correspondence between them on the subject at the time of the Constitution and over the ensuing years.
