I'm not following. Are you claiming that because his American mother was under age, even though he was born in the US, he's not a citizen of the US?

I'm not - the suit filed is. As I understand it, he wasn't born on US soil, so since his mom was only 18 he wasn't a natural US citizen.

I still don't find that in the lawbooks. If it were true, there are thousands, including myself, that wouldn't be natural born citizens. I have a cousin who's mom and dad were in Portugal on their honeymoon when my cousin was born there. She was only 18. Her son is a US citizen because his parents are. It has nothing to do with her age at his birth.

Do you know where that law is at, aside from the website that cite that this particular law exists? I'm just not finding it, and in fact, I'm finding information on legit sites that contradict that claim.
