The 14th Amend has a clear statement that explains it all:
"...and subject to the jurisdiction thereof..."
Case in point, Native Americans were not considered US citizens because they were subjects of the Chief of their tribe. So, although they were born in the US, their parents were the subjects of the Chief of their tribe. It wasn't until the "Indian Citizenship Act of 1924" that they were considered US citizens.
So, if a child is born in this country but its parents are subjects of another jurisdiction, it is NOT US citizen.
That is how this argument should be resolved. PERIOD, END OF STORY.
Because his mother was a citizen of Scotland and hence was a subject of another jurisdiction
Stop spreading FAKE NEWS on this board. She was a citizen.
Donald Trump's parents were both U.S. citizens. His father, Frederick Christ Trump, was born in the US. His mother, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, became a U.S. citizen in 1942.
But what if she hadn't? It wouldn't have made a shit-bit of difference. Donald's father was a US citizen.
You didn't know this public information? Or, shillin' like a villain? ;p

So wouldn’t Trump not be a citizen under that theory?
Read it again
Why would a person born in New York to US citizen parents not be a US citizen?
Because his mother was a citizen of Scotland and hence was a subject of another jurisdiction?
Or what about Marco Rubio, who was born in Florida to two Cuban citizens, neither of whom were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth?
