The third is a combination of Jus soli and Jus sanguinis, and it is this combination that determines if one is a natural born citizen

Now that is the clearest statement I have seen so far.

And the rest of your post puts it on solid legal ground.

Good job.

Same here. Kudos to whoever wrote it. The concept has been expressed a thousand different ways in the hundreds of bc threads on this site, but that is the most concise expression of the NBC concept that I have seen.

In essence, natural born citizenship can only come through a combination of blood rights and birth on US soil. It's a condition unlike any other variation of US citizenship.

It's always been a simple concept for me, but it seems to go right over the heads of many on the left and the right.
