There is a dispute whether citizenship-by-maternityy is "natural born" under the Constitution (there's an argument that that "natural born" is equivalent to the birthright guarantee of the 14th Amendment, and no decisive case law.)
- VA3FXP 10y agoWould there be any dispute if my wife gave birth while we were on vacation in France? I suspect that those who really hold to that definition are primarily concerned about the amount of melanin in his skin.
