But this is all as relevant to me these days as discussing Jefferson Davis' eligibility to be president of the CSA. The last two elections have proven to me we are now on an irreversible course of divine judgement. Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people...

The actual law in Customs and Immigration states:
Quote:
One parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth and the birthdate is on or after November 14, 1986
The parents are married at the time of birth and the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. or its territories for a period of at least ten years at some time in his or her life prior to the birth, at least five of which were after his or her 14thbirthday.If the U.S. citizen parent spent time abroad in any of the following three capacities, this can also be counted towards the physical presence requirement:
- Serving honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces;
- Employed with the U.S. Government; or
- Employed with certain international organizations.
Additionally, time spent abroad by the U.S. citizen parent while the U.S. citizen parent was the unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person who meets any of the three conditions listed above can also be counted.
If the child was born out of wedlock, see N-600: FAQ.

She moved to Canada during the 1960's, having spent more time than the requirement in the United States.
