1. The Child Was Born in the U.S.: This is correct. The child must be born on U.S. soil to be considered for birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
2. Birth Parents Are Citizens of a Foreign Country: This is not entirely accurate in the context of the decision. The ruling in Wong Kim Ark affirmed that the child is a U.S. citizen regardless of the citizenship status of the parents, as long as the child is born in the U.S. and is subject to its jurisdiction. The parents’ citizenship status (foreign or otherwise) does not disqualify the child from U.S. citizenship.
what is ambitious is situations where the child is born with dual citizenship. This has never been ruled on, and would need the SC to rule on it.
Martin Van Buren, our eighth president, was born at Kinderhook, New York on December 5, 1782, six years and five months after the Declaration of Independence. Unlike his seven predecessors, he was not just a “citizen,” he was a “natural born” citizen… the first president, at least thirty-five years of age, who was born to US citizen parents after July 4, 1776.
Trumps mother was not a Natural Born Citizen:
Under natural law in late eighteenth-century Europe and America: the father’s blood determined the political allegiance of free persons at birth; the mother was legally irrelevant.
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.
Yep no problem. I'm sure it will be come to light. The writing has been on the wall for awhile about FJB and trump likely has plenty of dirt on all of them to play with.

Not quite correct as I see it:
Yes, but it was actually the first 7 presidents, not nine. George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, and Andrew Jackson.
