FFS it has already been ruled on by the Supreme Court in 1898. Literally. She is eligible. If you were born in the US, you are a naturally born citizen. Period. The citizenship of your parents is 100% irrelevant. Anyone who pursues this is wasting all of our time.
If only I had linked the decision in the comment that you replied to. Oh wait, I did.
But just in case you forgot how to click a link - The decision was US v. Wong Kim Ark (1898). Also Minor vs Happersett does not define citizenship. It only states that citizenship does not guarantee the right to vote. So it is irrelevant here.
The Wong Kim Ark case specifically defines citizenship regarding people born inside US borders. The opinion of the majority Justice Horace Gray in part states "The Fourteenth Amendment affirms the ancient and fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory, in the allegiance and under the protection of the country, including all children here born of resident aliens"
You cannot get much more explicit than that. We are wasting our efforts trying to pull this shit. She is unfortunately, eligible to be VP and/or President.
Wish some lawyer would take this up and go to court. Then the Supreme Court.
Unless it'd have no standing /s

Really, what decision? It would be contradiction of Minor vs Happpersett (1875). Cite it; I’ll read it. Or not.

But where is that applied to the term "natural born citizen"? It seems like it only addresses citizenship in general...
