That article by the Post & Email is hardly irrefutable as it fails to bring the one fact, the ONE legal litmus test by which one is either natural born or naturalized and that is “expatriation”. Did or did not the child at birth, have a foreign nationality they would have to renounce upon their coming of age.

It just irks me when these pundits claim that their conclusions are irrefutable, when in fact, they are very much refutable.

What about all those children born on US Military bases overseas, some only have 1 US Citizen parent some 2. But they have dual citizenship at birth, they must renounce 1 before coming of age. Step Daughter had both Japanese and US Embassy BC’s. And a US Passport by the time she was 3 days old. US Foreign Military bases are NOT US SOIL. She had to be reminded of the fact she had to renounce the Japanese citizenship when she became of age.
