Whatever, man. You're too slippery for me.
Thanks for the info above about the German national tax case. Most interesting reading.

And I'm done with the two of you as well.

Your arguments come down to white is black and black is really blue.

"Whatever, man. You're too slippery for me. "

Not for me. I notice that the Jus Soli pontificators on this thread have all managed to conveniently avoid the simple logic exercise that points quite clearly to what the intent of the founders was in requiring that POTUS/VPOTUS, and only POTUS/VPOTUS be a Natural Born Citizen:

The Framers wanted to ensure to the greatest degree possible that any aspirant to the presidency would have loyalty to, and only to the US. Ergo, citizenship derived by birth in the US to parentS who are themselves citizens. Anything else opens the door to the potential for divided loyalties.

By the "reasoning" of some here, a child born to illegal alien parents but on US soil has better legal NBC status than one born to US servicemember parents on a military base overseas.

Flies in the face of logic.

Thanks for the Pings, melancholy and LucyT.
