Whoever “taught” you was an idiot.
That is not the law.
Also, I would suggest you look at the law concerning citizenship of children born on foreign soil. You can find a pretty good legal history on the US Department of State web page, especially in the passport application sections.
The age of the parents, and the time spent in the US, prior to birth, do matter, if the birth is on foreign soil
Natural Born Citizen means Citizen at Birth.
Anyone who thinks otherwise does not understand the law.
We have two forms of Citizenship:
Natural Born Citizen
Naturalized Citizen.
If you are not a citizen, at the moment of birth, you can not be President of the United States.
This is what the law means. This and nothing else.

I didn’t go into a lengthy discussion in my post. I know that if my husband and I left the US to reside somewhere else, questions could be raised about our citizenship status and that of our child.
My intent was to suggest we were “visiting” outside the US for a short time as lots of folks do. This was made clear in 1790.

Would Obama be a natural born citizen of Great Britain?

" If you are not a citizen, at the moment of birth, you can not be President of the United States. "
Wow, maybe you need to read your own sentence again.
I had to do a double take on that one after all the arguments you are making.
You have been telling us that ?
That the parent's don't have to be US citizens and if a child is born here, than the child is a Natural Born Citizen ? correct ?
But ? in you sentence above you said: " If you are not a citizen, ( ** AT THE MOMENT OF BIRTH ** ), then you can not be president of the United States. " ahh, that's what we have been trying to tell you even though you said it on your own words.
But you have been telling us in early arguments that IF the child is born here then the child is a Natural Born Citizen.
So what is it ?
Either ? or ?
Yes or no ?
You just said it.
By the way ? how do you explain reports that there are documents in the British National Archives that show that there were a son born to Barrack Obama SR. in 1961 in Kenya ?
He was born in Kenya.
Even his mother could not, and can not confer citizenship for him back in 1961 if we go by your argument and reasoning.
