I was watching some legal stuff on a similar but slightly different thing.
The point was made that the 14th Amendment says "All person born or naturalized in the United States AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION THEREOF, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
What -- EXACTLY -- does "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" mean?
Turns out, it means absolute, and 100% subject, with NO OTHER AUTHORITY.
If an American visits France, is the American subject to the jurisdiction of the US and also of France?
Yes.
This means that the anchor baby stuff is a violation of the Constitution.
Those people are NOT US citizens just becuase they were born within the 50 states.
Their parents are citizens of another country, which means the parents and the child, both, are NOT subject to the EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction of the US.
So, anchor baby "policy" (it is not a law) must go.
Obviously if Kackle Heels Up is not even a US citizen, she cannot be a Natural Born Citizen, either, and is therefore ineligible for Prez or V-Prez.

So how come there hasn't been a challenge to her being VP then? I would have thought the question at least would have been raised.
