I don’t think the founders bought that idea. There is no point to the clause if that is all it means. The bill in the Senate to make McCain NBC was that he had citizen parents which obozo voted for. It is rather silly to think that illegal parents can produce a NBC. Oh, you may quote some black robed pol that has spent his life trashing the original intent of the founders, but the founders sought to protect us from such as this..
I never said that birth in America, alone, granted Citizenship or Natural Born Citizenship.
I said that Natural Born Citizenship means you were a CITIZEN at BIRTH!
The majority of legal opinion is, sometimes, wrong, but -— right now the majority of legal opinion would be with me, not you. The matter, I grant you, has not been resolved as well as it needs to be resolved.
I hold the view that Congress can stop the “anchor baby” problem simply by exercise of its power to determine the jurisdiction of the courts, combined with the power of Congress to set the rules for citizenship.
I believe that the rules for citizenship are exactly the same as the rules for Natural Born Citizenship -— save one factor:
A “Natural Born Citizen” must be a Citizen at the exact moment of birth, and not due to any oath or naturalization process.
