Were they U.S. citizens when Marco was BORN?

That is the big question as what type of citizenship does birth under a protectorate status convey? What if his parents were born in Puerto Rico, also a protectorate?

According to this report by the Congressional Research Service, being born in a Protectorate satisfies the requirement to be born on US soil, so why would it not satisfy the same for his parents?

Puerto Rico depends on WHEN you were born. Before a certain date, definitely NOT NBC, after that date maybe. Look it up.

What if they were just deemed to be citizens under ritual Scottish Law?

Can't you give this cr@p a rest?
