The citizenship of your parents has nothing to do with yours.
So if you were born in a foreign country the citizenship of your parents has nothing to do with yours? Drivel. By your thinking a foundling can be President according to statute.
Still waiting for you to post the State department opinion...hint there is a difference between a citizen per statute and natural born citizen for Constitutional eligibility purposes...
TE says: The citizenship of your parents has nothing to do with yours -- if and only if you are born in the United States.

No. You need to read 1401. It tells you about that circumstance and what is required.
Drivel. By your thinking a foundling can be President according to statute.
You are misunderstanding what "according to statute" means here in this context. It does not mean that you cannot have a statute that defines who is a citizen at birth (a natural born citizen). It means that if a statute says all resident aliens are now declared U.S. citizens, those citizens are not natural born.

There have been statutes enacted that take classes of people and make them U.S. citizens by that statute only. Those are the U.S. citizens that are not natural born citizens.
