If Nikki was born in South Carolina, then she is a natural born citizen
. Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.
The chosen example is specifically excluded via "and subject to its jurisdiction."agree 98%
I THINK that there are exceptions for diplomats - ie ambassadors, ect - so if an ambassador from another country say - Germany - has a child - in DC - then that child is a German citizen - please correct if I am wrong.
I think you are correct, as the phrase "subject to its jurisdiction" covers your exception.agree 98%
