So here I am, born in the US to two US-born citizen parents, the grandson of four US-born citizen parents, and due to a quirk of their law, Italy considers me a citizen. Am I a "natural born citizen" of the US?

American law is not bound by foreign law. As far as the U.S. is concerned, your U.S. Citizenship is the only thing that matters. Whether one country or another wants to claim you is irrelevant to your U.S. Citizenship.

I’ve had others on FR tell me differently, that I’m not a natural born citizen even three generations removed from my immigrant ancestor. Not that i’m interested in running for president.
