That is just unethical.

So If Pa and Ma are in the service of the country and sacrifice comfort and prosperity to serve the country, their offspring are penalized?

That just aint American.
Or at the very least it should not be American.

Actually, the courts have never ruled on it. If the issue is ever presented to the courts (i.e. SCOTUS), I expect they will rule that citizenship granted at birth by statute does make one eligible for the presidency.

Such citizens enjoy the same rights as natural-born citizens except there are retention requirements.
