The child always follows the allegiance of the father. http://www.usnaturalborncitizen.com/meaningofnaturalborn.html
Harris was born Oct. 20, 1964, and her father was a citizen of Jamaica at the time of her birth.
Specifically, Chapter 2 (entitled Citizenship) of the Jamaica Constitution, Section 3C states:
Every person born outside Jamaica shall become a citizen of Jamaica –
-
on the sixth day of August 1962, in the case of a person born before that date; or
-
on the date of his/her birth, in the case of a person born on or after the sixth day of August 1962,
if, at that date, his/her father or mother is a citizen of Jamaica by birth, descent, or
registration by virtue of marriage to a citizen of Jamaica.
Hmm. "Your interpretation:" in #2 is unintendedly argumentative.
Please read instead "This interpretation". I do not mean to state that you-only-you have this view (if indeed you do [and it seems you do]). I do realize that a lot of people have this view and that it is at this point the "accepted view" (precedent/stare decisis, etc.). I do not agree with it, but that does not mean I am blaming you for it. :)
