So if someone is born in the USA to foreign parents they would qualify?

Yes. Even anchor-babies.

I believe the law denies NBC to the children of foreign diplomats and enemy combatants. That's it. Everyone else born on U.S. soil is natural born.

Just because the guy I votes for lost doesn't mean I believe it's time to change the rules.

At any rate, it doesn't matter what I believe, or you. It only matters what the courts believe and as of yet, they don't appear very interested in addressing the perceived eligibility issues of the man who 65 million American voters elected president.

“Rep. Bingham commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))”

“In the beginning of his definition, Vattel required that the children be born of “parents” who are citizens. The use of the word “parents” refers to both mother and father. If he required only one parent such as the father, he would have said “of fathers who are citizens” and not “of parents who are citizens.””
