Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.

I'm not so sure one has to be born here. See my post On Constitutional Eligibility from January 2016.

Born here of citizen parents.
Anything else can allow for foreign influence which is what they were trying to avoid and why they stipulated it.
I believe they used Vattel’s definition.

Blackstone uses natural-born and native-born interchangeably. That’s quite likely why the naturals-vs.-natives argument has fallen apart and why the radical Birthers don’t cite Blackstone any more.

There are only two types of citizens: natural-born and naturalized.

Lurkin thinks children of people serving their country overseas aren’t eligible to be President.
