No they describe Citizenship, at Birth.
Natural Born is not simplt Legislated Citizenship.
You cannot Legislate Nature.
what's the difference between:
citizenship when born,
or
citizenship at birth?
There is no difference....how could there be?
The intent of our founding fathers, and what was going on at the era they wrote it has to be considered as well....
They just went through a Revolution, they certainly did not want anyone with close allegiance and roots to the enemy running the show in their newly formed nation....or anyone in the future that did not have his allegiance to the United States, first and foremost.
People did not fly back and forth between different continents in a matter of hours back then, nor could they forsee this ever being the case in the future.
Women, had no power as individuals, so to say. They could not vote, they did not work or have professions outside of their homes, farms, own family run business...unless they were a Saloon gal, or a teacher....for the most part. NO female senators or congressmen till the latter last century and still extremely disproportionately male....
And the idea of single motherhood being perfectly acceptable, and legal was all probably inconceivable at the time,
let alone a white female american citizen meeting a black nigerian male here legally on a visa attending her college in the United States and her marrying him in the USA and having a child with him in the USA.
ALOT has changed since then, you'd have to agree....?
so the notion that ONLY THE FATHER can pass on citizenship to the child, that you keep quoting, is moot.
