I agree. So I guess there is a case to be made for a difference between these two children being 'natural-born citizens': a married man from Kenya knocking up an American girl, illegitimately marrying her in the US, and then having the child in Kenya An American citizen women legitimately marrying a naturalized citizen and having the child in Canada
No, they're both fine, as long as the woman in the first case was resident in the US for at least one full year at any point before the child's birth (assuming the info in the Wikipedia article on brithright citizenship in the US is accurate).

An American citizen women legitimately marrying a naturalized citizen and having the child in Canada Ted Cruz father became a naturalized citizen 35 years after Ted's birth. Surely this casts no light on whether Ted is a natural born citizen. And your first description does not quite fit Obama either.

Why does the marital status of the parents have to do with anything if the mother is a US citizen?
Do you think the gender of the US citizen is relevant?Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

Again Cat Sci shows that right wing arguments are not based on truth or reality. A hint of racism but no truth.

According to the law it is, as well as whether or not they are married. Then you should have no problems pointing to a provision of law under which the marital status of the parents effects whether someone is a citizen at birth.

It does if the mother is not a US citizen and the child was born out of wedlock. I assume this provision is so that the children produced by US GI's overseas are not given citizenship.
quote:United States nationality law - Wikipedia CS is deep into the Kool-aid. For in order even if he President Obama was born out of wedlock in a foreign country he would still be a citizen. Alas, evidence shows he was born in the USA and evidence shows that his parents were legally married in the USA at the time of the Presidents birth.

It does if the mother is not a US citizen and the child was born out of wedlock. Nobody, including Cat Sci, is making a claim that Obama's mom was not a US citizen. Accordingly, her marital status does not raise any issues with respect to the law. However, if you are a birther, compliance with the law may not be enough.
CS is deep into the Kool-aid. Perhaps Cat Sci just yanking chains.
I assume this provision is so that the children produced by US GI's overseas are not given citizenship. The provision for out of wedlock citizen dads is surely designed to limit such a thing. For out of wedlock citizen moms the provisions are relatively lax.Je Suis Charlie Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

"I'm not being serious", if you will
In that other thread where this came up I had some unanswered questions, from Message 1416:
quote: I've been reading over the laws for birthright citizenship since I first posted in this thread, and I think I got it figured out. If it is a female US citizen, then it doesn't really matter what happens, her kid is a citizen too. But if it is a male US citizen, and the mother is not, then there are some extra things that need to go down for the child to be a birthright citizen if you are not married to the mother. Regarding Obama in particular, I honestly couldn't care less where he was born. In my ignorant opinion, if you can become president of the US, then you can. I also don't doubt that he was born in Hawaii. Do any birthers have any reasons why I should care where they flopped out of their mom's vagina? Like, some real reason other than some convolution of citizenship laws?

Speaking of primaries, or possible primaries, the Order of the Perpetually Offended is at it again:

What’s in a name? ‘Hillary’ by any other name would still be controversial ...some Americans, mostly women, don’t think the former secretary of state, U.S. senator from New York and first lady should be called by just her first name. I think they need to recognize that, after 20 years of prominent exposure, Hillary has reached the point of only needing a single name. Not a thing of disrespect or respect, just a reality.
