Huh? Both of my parents are natural-born citizens, WayneS.
All four grandparents, all eight great grandparents, and other than native Cherokee ancestors, every single one of them going back to ratification of the Constitution.
And, I'm not special or exceptional in any way. That just about describes every native southerner in the United States.
The definition (”Fact #2) used in the article states that to be a “natural born” citizen BOTH of your parents have to be natural born citizens.
By that definition, if anywhere in your direct family lineage there is someone who was not a “natural born” citizen of the United States then that person’s progeny, and THAT person’s progeny, etc. etc. (down to and including your parents and you) are NOT “natural born” citizens.
At the ratification of the U.S. Constitution there was no such thing as a “natural born” citizen; that is why the presidential qualifications include the mention of persons who were “citizens...at the time of ratification...”.
I was merely pointing out that the definition used by the person who wrote the article is not only correct, but illogical, since it makes it impossible for anyone to be “natural born” citizen.
The correct definition of “natural born” citizen MAY be that BOTH of one’s parents must be citizens. However, I am unaware of any ratified Law which actually defines it that way.
