Sorry to be the party pooper, that’s not true.
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
A natural born citizen refers to someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth, and did not need to go through a naturalization proceeding later in life. Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US.
Has nothing to do with parents because at time of writing the constitution not everyone’s parents were US citizens. There have been Anchor babies since the founding of the USA.
Anchor baby is not a legal term.
