Thanks, that's an interesting article.
Jim Joyce formulated on Tuesday :
You're welcome, it seemed more in depth than the Jus soli one.
IIRC it was for the Father only, so that diplomats living on foreign soil can have babies who are citizens of the home country. Women probably had no standing at all in laws of the time. I think it applies to either parent now.
If the baby's daddy in in the Federal Pen does the kid get privileges too?
I think so, not for POW's though.
