I actually disagree with this, but I am not overly troubled by the irrationality of it.
If my child was born in a Military Hospital while I served overseas then there ought not properly be a penalty depriving them of Natural Born Citizenship. The notion that there is a deprivation of Citizen’s option because of service to the Nation is patently absurd.
I am not greatly troubled by this incredibly foolish logic as my offspring are unlikely to ever run for any public office. Still, it is fundamentally stupid on its face.
As a matter of fact, my child was born in an overseas Military Hospital while I served. Who could ever justify such a stupid policy or interpretation of the rules regarding Natural Born Citizenship?It is an absolutely stupid concept.
The concept is not there to deprive any citizen of NBC status. It's there to protect the country from foreign influence therefore the office of the Presidency is not an equal opportunity job. Some American citizens are born abroad for various reasons beyond their control and the reality is we still have many people who meet the qualification. There is no reason to take any chances. In a nutshell if you are an American citizen and for what ever reason your parents were unable to be on American soil at the time of birth it's just tough beans. You can be anything but the President of the United States.
