"The Constitution does not expressly define “natural born” nor has the Supreme Court ever ruled precisely upon its meaning."
So who says it is defined as "a citizen whose parents were US citizens at the time of birth"?
And SCOTUS already ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that "anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship".
So yes, she is a "natural born citizen" and as such, as much as it pains me to say it, is eligible to be president.
I believe still can be lawsuited because Wong decision was only for citizenship and court did not make any ruling regarding for eligibility for presidential office requirements. I could see white hats may even use her anchor baby status to overturn the Wong decision, which was a terrible precedent.
I’m not sure if a lawsuit would stand because all the constitution says is that the president must be natural born, and that case says that anyone born on US soil is a natural born citizen. It’s pretty open and shut, I don’t see how they could sue regarding eligibility, I think they would need to file a lawsuit based on some other grounds to do that.
"...is a natural born citizen..." No, SCOTUS ruled that they were U.S. citizens. That is not the same as a "natural born citizen."
