“We also know that if a child has just one US parent and is born abroad, he can still be considered “natural-born” if that parent is over the age of 19 and has lived in the US for 10 years (five of which were after the age of 14).”

This is incorrect. Such a child is a citizen, not an NBC ( and you are quoting the law in effect in 1961, not the current law which requires fewer years after age 14).

The number of years after age 14 for the parent of a foreign-born child only applies to the citizenship of that child who can't possibly meet the NBC standard of both blood and soil for a birth on foreign soil.

The law in effect in 1961 is the law that applies, not the laws today.

What I quoted, was the law of the day.
