Don’t know, but if he were to run for POTUS, I’d find out real quick. Again, all my posts were rhetorical for my specific points.

It's not their birth but their citizenship that is important here.

It doesn’t matter if his parents were born in the United States.

If they were US citizens (via naturalization) and he was born on US soil, he could serve as President.

The parents do not have to be natural born citizens. They just have to be US citizens. This means they have denounced allegiance to another nation and there would be no other nation that could claim jurisdiction over them at the time of their child’s birth.
