“Any other answer is not true to the original intent of the founders.”
So, you rule out the children of military officers serving abroad?
Can’t agree with that.
When I was young they told mothers to return home to preserve natural born citizen status.
My friend, born in Germany while his father was in the Air Force, was told he was not eligible.
They are still citizens if their parents file for CRBA, but not natural born citizens, except if on US territory such as Guam.
Oh well, that settles it then.
