regarding children of legal immigrants, because that is settled law. Such children are natural born citizens.

No theyre not
If the registered aliens are not yet American citizens the children are American citizens but not NBC
If the parents have both been naturalized BEFORE the child was born and are now therefore American citizens then the child and any other children born will be NBC...
Lol.
Certainly, they are.
Believe me, I've studied this issue from every possible angle.
I've now read every significant court case and heard every birther argument.
And all of those arguments are absolute BS.
See some of the recent discussion, including the recent post on Wong Kim Ark.
Don't you ever wonder why there's not a single court in the entire country that will even give the time of day to these claims? Except, in some cases, to simply cite Wong Kim Ark and tell the plaintiffs to go away?
It's because EVERY SINGLE COURT AND EVERY SINGLE JUDGE IN THE COUNTRY understands that this particular question was settled long ago.
It is only uninformed people commenting on the internet that believe there is anything to these arguments.
Unfortunately, uninformed people vote. And some of them are just fooled enough to actually WITHHOLD their votes from perfectly eligible candidates - like TED CRUZ - and even elect idiot liberals instead, because of the depth of their deception.
There just isn't a case. Because as has been extensively discussed in this thread, the claim is absolute BS.
I don't know how I can be any clearer than that. The only lamentable thing is that I feel there is no way that I can convey how extremely clear it is, both legally and historically speaking, that there is NOTHING to the two citizen parent claim.
The courts have ruled differently. For example, specific to the eligibility of Obama to receive Indiana’s Electoral votes in 2008, in Ankeny v Daniels, a three judge panel of the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled unanimously: “Based on the language of Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 and the guidance provided by Wong Kim Ark, we conclude that persons born within the United States are ‘natural born citizens’ for Article II, Section 1 purposes, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.”—November 12, 2009

That ruling has not been overturned by a higher court.
