“By your definition if you and your pregnant wife were travelling to Germany and she went into premature labor and delivered there, your child would not be a natural born citizen.”
Uh, I personally believe that is EXACTLY what our Constitutional framers meant by “natural born citizen”: born on our soil. period.
But it is OK to give citizenship to a child born here to non-citizen parents? That is very convoluted logic.
A child born overseas to citizen parents cannot be president but a child born in NYC to two Russian spies qualifies? Doesn’t pass the common-sense interpretation rule.
