It doesn't matter if someone is born off the base when parents are out of country for military (government) reasons - they are still "natural born" citizens. My daughter was born in a hospital in Brindisi, Italy. We have papers signed by Cap Weinberger that she is an American citizen.
On the flip side, since she was born on Italian soil, the Italians consider her a citizen - if she had been a boy who later returned to Italy during a certain age, the possibility of conscription into the military may have risen its head.
“It doesn’t matter if someone is born off the base when parents are out of country for military (government) reasons - they are still “natural born” citizens.”
I agree.
I was only reporting what the baby Marxist were screaming as their rebuttal to us birthers.
You're right that it doesn't matter, since both are legally part of the host nation of the base. Being born "beyond the seas" to American citizen parents, in the Constitutional language of 1795, means being born a citizen. It does not mean being a natural born citizen. There is a difference between the two. The fact that the host nation can and often does claim those born in their territory as their own citizens as well is the problem, and why a natural born citizen has to be born here of citizen parents.
Would you want a citizen of Italy to have been President of the United States during World War II, when we were at war with fascist Italy under Mussolini? It's a problem. That's why it's precluded.
