Actually, it’s a bit more complicated than that, because the laws changed several times during the 20th century. So you also have to take into account when they were born, because the requirements are different based on which law was in effect.

Yes, I am aware. I was trying to give a quick explanation to a questioner. I have read the birther threads here extensively. Ted’s mother was certainly of age; he had a US passport shortly after his birth in Canada. The Supreme Court has never defined natural born. My position is “evolving” but I believe the founders used that term specifically for POTUS to avoid any possibility of foreign loyalty and that natural born citizen is distinctly different from citizen. Both of my parents were born in the US to citizen parents. I was born in the US. No doubt about me.
