Mother could not "confer" citizenship *IF* she was legally married (under the law where the birth took place) AND the birth took place outside the US. Inside the US there is no need, all persons born in the US are US citizens, although not necessarily natural born ones. Persons' born outside the US, unless at least one parent is serving the country, as in the military or diplomatic corps, may be citizens if they meet the criteria of the law at that time. Those born in the US without two citizen parents, except for those of a single mother with no acknowledged father, are not natural born US citizens.
Maybe I over-simplified the case but it is all such a tangle.
Has there been a confirmed falsification of the divorce?
Married seems the answer to that part of the question.
Natural born is the real question.
We get hung up in too many what if’s?
Just show us the BC and then we can decide if the Indonesian Citizenship and later passports mean anything.
I think the person who claims foreign student status for special university admission or scholarship money is guilty of a crime as well as divided allegiance. If this is fact, it would show duplicity and that is the real intent of the framers in using the natural born language.
This is such a can of worms! Time will find the truth crawling out of the squiggly mess.
IMHO nothing is going to happen legally right now. Why debate the fine points. Lets use our energy against the horrid policies we need to stop now?
I cheer for those who legally fight his secrecy and hope they are successful. BC signs at rallies and tea parties keep the issue active. Maybe that is all a person can do.
