No one seems to grasp the definition of "natural born" citizen. It is a more stringent form of citizenship. Means your PARENTS were born in the USA. Making you a natural born citizen.
This is completely untrue. And if it were true, then Trump would not be a natural born citizen because his mother was born in Scotland. Try not to make shit up.
In fact, the citizenship or birth place of one or both parents is absolutely irrelevant in determining if a person is a natural born citizen. The only thing that is the determining factor is whether or not they were born inside the borders of the USA. If they were, they are by definition a natural born citizen.

I think you're missing the point, which is, "natural born" citizen. It is a more stringent form of citizenship. Means your PARENTS were born in the USA. Wong Kim Ark was deemed a citizen, but not the more stringent form of citizenship. One of the three requirements of the Presidency (& VP).
"natural born" citizen. It is a more stringent form of citizenship. Means your PARENTS were born in the USA.
It very literally does not mean this at all. The definition actually specifically states that the citizenship of one's parents has exactly zero influence on your being a natural born citizen. If you have nay proof of that other than a strongly held opinion, I'd love to see it.
